Zach LaVine provides injury update after Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic

The Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic met tonight in Chicago in a game that saw the Bulls overcome a 20-point deficit and break .500 for the first time in nearly two years. This was also the first time since 2001 that the team came back from two consecutive games from a 20-point deficit.

It was announced today that the Bulls will be without Lonzo Ball for at least ten days due to a wrist injury. Unfortunately for Bulls fans, it now appears that star guard Zach LaVine could be placed on the injured list alongside Ball.

During his postgame media session, LaVine gave an update on the status of his injured shoulder.

Via KC Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network: “Zach LaVine said he'll know more on Thursday and hopes to play in Brooklyn on Friday because 'I'm trying to play through everything.'” LaVine said he had a “subluxation.” left shoulder, which represents a partial dislocation of a joint and is likely to result in a shoulder sprain.

In LaVine's first four games this season, he averaged 26.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game on 55.2/45.7/82.4 shooting splits. The Bulls will have a hard time replacing LaVine's performance and hope the guard doesn't have to be sidelined for long.

The Bulls will travel to Brooklyn on Friday, November 1st to take on the Nets at 7:30 p.m. EST.
