Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine spoke to the media today for the first time since the team announced he will miss an additional 3-4 weeks with right foot soreness.
LaVine told reporters that he got PRP.
“I’ve been trying to train and do active rehab to get back out there. That didn’t work,” LaVine said. “It had a little bit of a—I don’t want to say setback—but it got more sore to where it didn’t make sense to try to play on it continuously. Rest for a little bit. Get some PRP. Hopefully, that will do some good things for it. Continue to promote that healing and check back in a week or two and see where you’re at.”
LaVine is averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists on the season while shooting 44.3% from the field, 33.6% from beyond the arc and 86.6% from the free-throw line. The Bulls are 5-13 with LaVine in the lineup.

“It’s something I’ve been trying to deal with and get back to 100 percent,” LaVine said. “We’ve done different things to try to get it back to where it is. It’s playing with it and then sitting out a game. It felt like it was going to be a couple days getting back on the foot. And then it went to, ‘Alright, let’s give it some rest. Give it two games or a week and them ramp back up.’ I was trying to play actually (Wednesday) or Friday. But ramping up, it didn’t respond well.”
The Bulls are 3-0 since LaVine went down with his injury. The two-time All-Star has heard the narratives going around about how Chicago is better team without him, but that’s not going to stop LaVine from being a good teammate.
“Am I still a part of this team and very committed? Yeah. I got a Bulls jersey on,” LaVine said. “I committed here. And for as long as I’ll be here, I’ll still support and love Chicago and go out there and play my heart out for those guys. That’s never going to change. There’s going to be different stories and narratives. And there’s going to be off-the-court stuff that’s going to be dealt with. For me, as long as I’m here with a Bulls jersey on, I’m going to play as hard as I can for my teammates and continue to be the best player and teammate I can be. Simple as that.”
