Torrey Craig fumbled a touchdown pass from Caruso, landed awkwardly, and took several moments to get up.
He’s up now and walking to bench.
It’s a Clippers matinee game, play the music:
– 7-0 Bulls run
– 23-12 Bulls lead
– 2:44 left in 1st quarter – 4:27 PM

In the last 60 seconds, Chicago’s Torrey Craig passed a ball off Daniel Theis’s face, dropped a breakaway pass out of bounds, and turned his right ankle.
Now alking back to huddle under his own power. – 4:27 PM

Bulls Zach LaVine just spoke to media for the first time since season-ending foot surgery.
He’s in a walking boot, but says he’s a little bit ahead of schedule and the boot is supposed to come off soon. Expects to be ready long before the start of training camp – 4:23 PM

Zach LaVine on the process of deciding to undergo surgery: “I was pretty much trying to figure out every way not to.”
Defined the injury as a nonunion Jones fracture, which means part of the base of his fifth metatarsal was essentially floating in his foot. pic.twitter.com/coVHAPXwBF4:23 PM

The Clippers have already attempted 8 3s in just over 5 minutes. Some of y’all see the lil previews I put together — the Bulls allow the most 3s in the league because they don’t want you in the paint and they’ll gamble for steals

Zach LaVine said he’s “ahead of schedule” for his surgery to repair a “non-union Jones fracture.”
Reported last month LaVine hoped to be at full strength in 3 months, not the 4-6 month timeline.
Said he’ll obviously be ready to go for training camp. – 4:15 PM

Although I like to give them a hard time, a long road trip like this is a reminder of just how good of a PR staff we have working with us with the Bulls. Sure, they’re no Raymond, but who is? Still very elite.
