Health could be the biggest factor in the Chicago Bulls’ success this season

Last season, the insane plethora of injuries cut the Chicago Bulls’ season short. To begin the season, Patrick Williams sustained a wrist injury that had him out the majority of the season but returned for the end of the regular season and the playoffs.

Lonzo Ball missed the last half of the season, while Coby White and most of the bench were off and on the injury report throughout the season.

Zach LaVine sustained a knee injury that left him constantly missing games. Once LaVine was clear to play, with no hesitation, he played, and until the offseason, fans were clueless about just how significant the injury was. He had knee surgery in the offseason to help and is now looking 100 percent.

Even though Lonzo Ball’s knee injury is still in question, the rest of the team is ready to go. With the new addition of Goran Dragic and the draft selection of Dalen Terry, there will be a significant number of guards to fill his role until Ball is ready to return.
