Zach Lavine Enters Health and Safety Protocol, Out At Least Game 5

Bulls star Zach Lavine has entered health and safety protocols and will miss at least Game 5 of the series on Wednesday against the Bucks.

Chicago is down 3-1 in the series and are now without their second leading scorer. 

It marks the third time Lavine has landed in health and safety protocols in the last nine months.

Lavine first entered protocols last April 16 last season and missed 11 games, he then landed in protocols again on July 19 while with Team USA. He also missed two games last December.

Alex Caruso, who suffered a nose injury in Game 5, will likely play a bigger role along with Coby White.

The Bulls are 12-point underdogs for Game 6 and are now +4000 to win the series, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
