Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine is undergoing surgery on his right foot that will leave him sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

LaVine has been battling with injuries for the majority of the season so far, and he has now elected to undergo foot surgery that will end his season. The timeline for his recovery has not yet been established, and it's not certain one way or the other if he'll be ready for the start of next season. This is a tough blow for the Bulls, who will now have to continue to rely on Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu to play a major role in the team's rotation in his absence. Coby White also projects to be a major beneficiary of his absence from a fantasy perspective.

Bulls' coach Billy Donovan said Zach LaVine will need at least another week of rest for his bothersome right foot.

The trade rumors have continued around Donovan, though it is unclear if his current injury impacts them at all. Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu should continue to play expanded roles in his absence.

Zach LaVine is expected to miss at least one-to-two weeks with a right ankle sprain.

LaVine underwent testing on Friday after suffering the injury in Thursday night’s win over Toronto. Patrick Williams figures to return to the starting lineup in his absence.

LaVine has been mostly productive on the offensive end of the floor of late, scoring at least 15 points in three of his last five games while also finishing with at least four assists in each of his last five contests for the Bulls. The 28-year-old continues to make the most of his opportunities in the Chicago starting five, averaging 20.5 points, 3.8 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 24.6% so far this season.

LaVine posted his best performance in the short time he has been back from injury as he continues to regain his form. Nikola Vucevic added 18 points and 15 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan shot just 5-of-19 from the field with 19 points.
