"Chicago Bulls guard Coby White will miss at least two more weeks, including Wednesday's regular season opener against the Detroit Pistons, as he continues to ramp up basketball activities following a right calf strain, the team announced Monday. White has missed all of the preseason after injuring his calf during an offseason workout in August, but he practiced this past Saturday for the first time since the start of training camp."
"White, 25, has emerged as one of the team's most reliable offensive players over the past two seasons since becoming a fixture in the starting backcourt. He averaged a career-high 20.4 points with 4.5 assists on 45% shooting and 37% from 3 in 74 games last season. White is also entering the final year of a three-year, $36 million contract and can become an unrestricted free agent this summer."
Coby White remains sidelined for at least two more weeks as he progresses through ramp-up basketball activities following a right calf strain sustained in an August offseason workout. White missed the entire preseason but returned to practice this past Saturday for the first time since training camp began and still needs to build conditioning. The team indicated he will continue on-court activities and is making progress. White averaged a career-high 20.4 points and 4.5 assists last season and enters the final year of a three-year, $36 million deal, eligible for unrestricted free agency this summer. Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu have taken starting backcourt roles in his absence.
