Zach LaVine's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It sounds like the star guard is closing in on a return after missing weeks of action due to right foot inflammation. If he's cleared, LaVine would likely be under a heavy minutes limit for the first few games. His return would mean Coby White and Patrick Williams would take a hit in playing time and fantasy value. Fantasy managers will need to check back ahead of Friday's game for more information on LaVine's status.

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Tuesday that there's been no setbacks with guard Zach LaVine (foot) from ramping up his workouts in the last few days. Donovan also "doesn't want to rule out" LaVine from returning as soon as Friday against the Charlotte Hornets, but that it is realistic he will be back within the next week. If LaVine can't get the green light to return on Friday from over a month on the shelf due to inflammation in his right foot, his next possible return date would arrive on Monday for a road rematch with Charlotte. With LaVine out for Chicago's two-game road trip, Alex Caruso remains very much worthy of a roster spot in nine-category fantasy leagues while playing top-100 ball this year. Patrick Williams has also seen a boost in production over 16 games without LaVine, supplying 13.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 threes per outing on 45.9% shooting from deep.

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan says guard Zach LaVine (foot) will not travel with the team on their current two-game road trip, ruling him out until at least Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. LaVine was ramping up as of last week as he works his way back from right foot irritation that's kept him on the shelf since Nov. 30. All fantasy managers can do is remain patient with the 28-year-old All-Star, who was netting 21.0 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 triples per game before the Bulls had to shut him down. Chicago has prevented their season from derailing in the meantime, but it remains to be seen if LaVine will remain in the Windy City after February's trade deadline. With Nikola Vucevic (groin) also unavailable for at least the next two nights, DeMar DeRozan and Coby White will be tasked with the heavy lifting offensively. Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams will also continue taking on extended run.
