The Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday to earn their first win of the season, will play the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Saturday to finish the tail end of a back-to-back. To date, no Bulls player has had to leave early because of an injury, which is surprising.
On the other hand, four names are included on the Thunder’s injury report. Out are Kenrich Williams (right knee surgery), Jaylin Williams (right hamstring strain), Nikola Topic (left knee surgery), and Isaiah Hartenstein (left hand fracture).
It will be intriguing to see if Nikola Vucevic can build on his impressive season-opening performance, as Chet Holmgren is now Oklahoma City’s sole real big man.
The Bulls’ home opener should have the United Center buzzing. The game will air on Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) and tip-off is at 7 p.m. CT.
