Bulls Guard Coby White to Miss Start of Season because of Strained Right Calf
White, averaging 20.4 points last season, will miss at least six key games due to a calf strain sustained in August and re-evaluated after two weeks, the Bulls said.
- On Monday, the Chicago Bulls announced guard Coby White will miss the start of the season with a strained right calf, sidelining him for at least six games starting with Wednesday's opener against Detroit.
- After an offseason workout in August, Coby White injured his calf and missed preseason, but after practicing Saturday he reported tightness that Coach Billy Donovan called a cautionary sign.
- White averaged a career-high 20.4 points with 4.5 assists on 45% shooting and 37% from 3 in 74 games last season, entering the final year of a three-year, $36 million contract.
- The immediate effect is the Bulls will be without White for early games against Detroit, Orlando, Atlanta, Sacramento and two against New York, compounding Collins' month-long absence as Jones and Dosunmu vie for starts.
- He will be re-evaluated in two weeks, and the team said this complicates White's plan to decline extension talks and target a bigger payday in summer 2026.
