Before a loss to the Brooklyn Nets and a particularly excruciating defeat at the hands of the NBA’s worst team, the Utah Jazz, the Chicago Bulls had a record above .500 for the first time in two years.<\/p>\n

A large part of that early season “success” has come on the back of a healthy and returned-to-form Zach LaVine.<\/p>\n

The two-time All-Star only played 25 games last season after undergoing foot surgery but is Chicago’s leading scorer at 22.7 points per game in 2024-25. He’s shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from three on eight attempts per game.<\/p>\n

Other players, most notably Coby White and Nikola Vucevic, have carried the scoring load at times, but LaVine remains the Bulls’ highest-usage player and featured offensive option.<\/p>\n

If Chicago hopes to get back in the win column, it will have to come on the road at last year’s Western Conference Champion Dallas Mavericks. Will LaVine be available?<\/p>\n

Leading up to tip-off, LaVine is still listed as questionable on the Bulls’ injury report after suffering a thigh injury in the loss to Brooklyn and subsequently missing the loss to the Jazz.<\/p>\n

Two of Chicago’s other starters – Josh Giddey and Patrick Williams – are also on the injury report but are expected to play. Ditto for backup center Jalen Smith.<\/p>\n

Lonzo Ball remains out with a right wrist ailment.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks are dealing with their own maladies, though, so the Bulls aren’t heading into Dallas with one of the league’s best teams at full strength.<\/p>\n

Full injury report for Chicago Bulls at Dallas Mavericks<\/h2>\n

The complete injury report for tonight’s game is as follows:<\/p>\n

Chicago Bulls:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Out: Lonzo Ball (wrist)<\/em><\/p>\n

Questionable: Zach LaVine (thigh)<\/em><\/p>\n

Dallas Mavericks:<\/h3>\n
