On Tuesday night, it looked like the Chicago Bulls were headed for their second loss of the new season. They were a step behind the Philadelphia 76ers for most of the night, after all. But they were hanging tough, with Josh Giddey continuing his breakout campaign, and they finished off an incredible comeback from 24 […]

On Tuesday, the Chicago Bulls received both good and bad news. The good news is that Coby White, who’s out with a calf injury, is expected to return soon, per Will Gottlieb of CHGO Bulls. According to coach Billy Donovan, White has been taking part in running and conditioning drills. However, White will be given […]

The Chicago Bulls’ unexpected strong start is due to several reasons. One of which is due to Ayo Dosunmu’s superb play. So far, he is averaging 16.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game as the Bulls are off to a 5-1 start. After a strong showing against the New York Knicks last Friday, […]

The Chicago Bulls are off to a fast start, and in part, it is due to Josh Giddey. Last Friday, Giddey scored a career high 32 points as the Bulls defeated the New York Knicks 135-125. In the process, they started 5-0 for the first time since the championship season of 1996-1997. On Sunday, the […]

Indeed, five games into the NBA season don’t determine the eventual outcome. But there is no denying that there is something special about the Chicago Bulls, and in particular, their interchangeable guard, Ayo Dosunmu.  On Friday, the Bulls defeated the New York Knicks by a score of 135-125 to start off 5-0. Plus, the last […]

After four games, the Chicago Bulls are off to their first undefeated start since 2021. However, their 2025 NBA draft pick from France has been absent from the action. His name is Noa Essengue.  Back in April, Essengue was the 12th overall pick who played for the French U16 and U18 national teams. In 2022, […]

For nearly a decade, the Chicago Bulls have existed in a state of limbo, good enough to compete but never good enough to truly matter. The “play-in purgatory” label has clung to them like an unwanted nickname. But this season, something feels different. Four games into the 2025-26 NBA campaign, the Bulls are undefeated for […]

During Media Day in September, the Chicago Bulls’ second-year guard Matas Buzelis said he wanted to go for the NBA’s Most Improved Player honors.

Prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, the Oklahoma City Thunder made two crucial moves that enabled their leap from good to great team. They acquired Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency to patch up their rebounding woes, and then in a bit of a surprise, they traded away Josh Giddey, a member of their […]

For years, Zach LaVine toiled away on a Chicago Bulls team that wasn’t quite sure where it was going. The Bulls then made the playoffs during the 2021-22 season, which was an encouraging sign, but they proceeded to miss the playoffs for the next few years, necessitating some major changes to the roster. Last season, […]

For the first time since 2021, the Chicago Bulls are off to a 3-0 start to the season. On Monday, they came back from 13 points down to defeat the Atlanta Hawks 128-123. Now the Bulls will try to go for 4-0 on Wednesday as they take on the Sacramento Kings. In the process, they […]

After a sluggish start, the Chicago Bulls found themselves in contention with the Atlanta Hawks. Fortunately, Josh Giddey, who was listed as questionable due to a finger injury, was in the starting rotation and finished with a double double (18 points, 13 rebounds). Additionally, Matas Buzelis came around in the second half to come away […]

Obviously, a four-year $1oo million deal says plenty about how the Chicago Bulls feel about Josh Giddey. As a result, it is incumbent upon him to stay healthy. However, on Monday, Giddey was officially listed as questionable on the injured list before the Bulls’ game against the Atlanta Hawks.  Giddey is battling a right 4th […]

It appears that nobody is left unscathed in the NBA gambling scandal, which has prompted an official FBI investigation. That includes the Chicago Bulls, although not for the reasons that most would assume. It turns out the Bulls were victimized by alleged improprieties during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on March 24, 2023, […]

While the NBA is coming to grips with the FBI investigation into illegal gambling activities, everyone should take a page from Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic. On Friday, the soon to be 35 year old big man didn’t mince any words when asked about the situation, per Grant Mona of Sports Illustrated. Essentially, Vucevic said […]

The Chicago Bulls started off the season on a high note. On Wednesday, they upset the Detroit Pistons for a 115-111 victory at the United Center.

Altogether, Buzelis finished the game with 21 points, six rebounds, and three assists […]

All […]

When it comes to talent and confidence, Matas Buzelis of the Chicago Bulls has both. And it is a good thing too, because Chicago will need Buzelis to excel with Coby White out due to a calf injury for the start of the season.  Before the Bulls’ season opener against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, […]

The debut of the new NBA on NBC commenced on Tuesday for the NBA’s opening night. Plus, the addition of Michael Jordan as a contributor was something fans had been eagerly anticipating. However, Jordan’s debut appearance was met with some confusion. For instance, Bill Simmons said Jordan’s interview with Mike Tirico lacked any excitement, though […]

Michael Jordan is not just widely considered the greatest basketball player of all-time. He is also one of the fiercest competitors to ever grace American professional sports, doing everything imaginable to give himself a physical and mental edge over the rest of the league. Some may call his obsession with winning unhealthy or maniacal, but […]

The NBA is back, and it’s only fitting that the one and only Michael Jordan has resurfaced, as it was recently announced that he will be a special contributor for NBC starting this season and will launch an interview series called “MJ: Insights to Excellence.” A part of it was aired during the halftime of […]

Unfortunately, it appears that the Chicago Bulls will begin the season with a hobbled roster. First, their top scorer, Coby White, will be out for the next few weeks due to a calf injury. Nevertheless, they will have two, albeit hobbled, core players available in time for their season opener against the Detroit Pistons on […]

The news that Coby White will miss the start of the season due to a calf injury was not what the Bulls were hoping for. After all, White is their dynamic scorer and playmaker as well as the team leader. The guy around whom the offense revolves. Indeed, his absence will be felt, but luckily […]

As fans have been waiting to hear updates regarding the injury to Chicago Bulls guard Coby White, the latest is likely to sour the mood as he’s set to miss the start of the season with the calf issue, as confirmed by the team itself. While there have been optimistic updates with the Bulls star, […]

The Chicago Bulls come into the 2025-26 NBA season as a team hoping to finally have some direction after a few years of not being good enough to be anything more than a play-in team, but not bad enough to kick start a rebuild with a high enough draft pick. But as they begin the season, […]

As Chicago Bulls star Coby White is dealing with a calf injury that has kept him out of preseason games, the latest update on his issue will have fans taking notice.

It was a busy Friday for the Chicago Bulls. Three hours after signing Mac McClung to a contract, they decided to waive him, per Legion Hoops. At the same time, the Bulls chose to waive fan favorite Yuki Kawamura after he sustained a medical condition in his right leg, per Will Gottlieb.  Then, the Bulls […]

For many Chicago Bulls fans, Derrick Rose holds a special place in their hearts. Much of that is rooted in the reimagination of what he could have been if injuries hadn’t eaten him alive. Sometimes, Rose is mentioned alongside Michael Jordan. Recently, Chicago-based rapper G Herbo made the case that Rose was more popular than […]

A few months after the Orlando Magic forced Mac McLung into free agency, their loss was the Chicago Bulls’ gain. On Friday, the Bulls snatched him up by signing him to a contract, per Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype and USA Today. McLung arrives in Chicago as a former MVP of the NBA G League […]

In basketball, free throws do plenty of good. Nobody knows that better than Wilt Chamberlain, despite being a poor free-throw shooter, who was 28-for-32 in his historic 100-point game in 1962. Perhaps the second name that comes to mind is Shaquille O’Neal for apparent reasons. Fast forward to today, and the Chicago Bulls are hopefully […]

There was a reason why the Chicago Bulls traded Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Isaac Okoro.

Former Chicago Bulls player turned broadcaster Stacey King knows how to get laughs. One time, he mistook his former teammate Bill Cartwright for former President Barack Obama. Recently, King decided to poke fun at Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers during the Bulls’ preseason game against the Bucks last Sunday. He impersonated Rivers by using […]

When it comes to the Chicago Bulls, a huge focus this year will be on Josh Giddey.

The culminating point of a longstanding stalemate that plagued the summer. Then of course, there […]

Back in February, the Chicago Bulls shocked the basketball world by announcing they were trading Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings. As part of that three-way trade, the Bulls snatched up guard Tre Jones. On the one hand, the Bulls gave up a highly effective offensive player. However, on the other hand, they are looking […]

Understandably, there is a tendency to want to overlook the preseason, at least from a fan’s perspective. However, it doesn’t matter when you are Ayo Dosunmu of the Chicago Bulls, who has something to prove.  As the Bulls move forward, a certain amount of focus will be placed on Dosunmu. The simple reason is that […]
