I've been to a Bulls game in Chicago one time since January 2017.
I have been to 11 combined Chicago Bulls and Windy City Bulls games this season. They are 0-11 in those games. And no it’s not my fault. ??

This week's Rising Player is Bulls guard Coby White: Coby White handed out a career-high nine assists on Thursday, the most by a Bulls rookie since Derrick Rose in 2009. He also recorded his 30th double figure scoring game of the season, the second-most among rookies coming off the bench.
