Another game, another opportunity.
The Bulls' early-season schedule has been filled with feast and famine in terms of opposing stars.
On the one hand, they've faced five former most valuable players in Derrick Rose, LeBron James, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. On the other, they've avoided several significant players, with Nets guard Kyrie Irving becoming the latest.
The Nets announced that Irving, who has been battling shoulder soreness on their current trip, won't play Saturday evening against the Bulls. Spencer Dinwiddie is a likely candidate to replace him as a starter. The Nets are 1-3 on this five-game trip, which concludes Saturday.
When the Bulls played the Pistons, Blake Griffin and Reggie Jackson sat. When the Bulls played the Pacers, Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis sat. When the played the Hawks, John Collins didn't play.
