Bulls vs. Cavaliers Injury Report
Game Overview
The Chicago Bulls face the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 8, marking their second consecutive game and second in a row on the road. This also continues a series of "seconds": second straight against a division rival and an Eastern Conference contender. The Bulls recently suffered only their second loss of the season in the NBA Cup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Injury Updates
Both teams enter the game relatively healthy, with key absences in the backcourt. Chicago's top scorer from last season, Coby White, remains sidelined with a calf injury but is expected to return during the upcoming Western Conference road trip starting in November.
Ayo Dosunmu, who recently returned from a quadriceps injury that kept him out for a week, scored seven points in the loss to Milwaukee. He is probable to play tonight.
