LaVine was the main source of offense for the Bulls in his return from a one-game absence with back spasms, with his game-high 36 points setting a new season-high mark and also leading all scorers in Thursday's upset win. Over his last seven games, the 29-year-old star guard is averaging 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.9 three-pointers per contest. LaVine's name has swirled around the rumor mill as it pertains to potential trade candidates this season, but he's thrived thus far as Chicago's top scoring option in 2024-25, shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from deep on the campaign as a whole.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
LaVine (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
LaVine has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since Nov. 7. Coach Billy Donovan doesn't think the back issue will be a long-term injury but said LaVine has been tight during recent games, so the hope is a few days off will get him back to 100 percent. LaVine's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Boston, while Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates for increased roles against the Raptors. Patrick Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets following a 10-game absence, but he played only 14 minutes and figures to remain on a minutes restriction Monday.

LaVine is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to low back tightness.
LaVine nearly posted a triple-double during Thursday's win over the Spurs, finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 31 minutes.
