3 years agoChicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Monday's game against Oklahoma City, giving him an early return from a knee ailment that was set to keep him sidelined for at least one more contest. In all, LaVine will have missed five outings, which leads to him facing a capped minutes total against the Thunder. In six January outings prior to getting injured, LaVine knocked down an average of three triples per game, tossing in 23.5 points for good measure. When on the floor, LaVine figures to be the team's offensive focal point with DeMar DeRozan (rest) ruled out and Nikola Vucevic (knee) a game-time decision.--Jesse Borek
