Bulls vs. Cavaliers Injury Report: Key Player Updates
The Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers face off on November 8 with mostly healthy rosters, aside from a few key absences in the backcourt.
Chicago Bulls Injury Status
The Bulls recently experienced their second loss of the season in an NBA Cup game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight’s matchup marks their second consecutive game on the road and second straight against a division opponent.
Leading scorer Coby White remains sidelined with a lingering calf injury but is expected to return during the upcoming Western Conference road trip in November.
Ayo Dosunmu's Return
Ayo Dosunmu, who had missed a week due to a quadriceps injury, made his comeback by scoring seven points in the loss to Milwaukee. He is listed as probable for tonight’s game against the Cavaliers.
Context and Expectations
"It will be an interesting reintegration for a player who was expected to be the Bulls' go-to option on offense, considering Josh Giddey's explosion into an MVP candidate, Ayo Dosunmu's leap as a scorer, the ageless Nikola Vucevic, and the depth of options head coach Billy Donovan has on his bench."
This game marks the Bulls’ second in a series of challenging back-to-back matchups against strong Eastern Conference competitors.
Summary
Both teams enter tonight’s contest relatively healthy, with the Bulls managing key absences and reintegrating important players as they navigate a tough stretch of games.
