Zach LaVine will undergo surgery next week on his right foot and will be out for four to six months, the Chicago Bulls, an NBA team, the professional American football league, reported this Saturday.
LaVine’s surgery not only leaves the Bulls without one of their great references on the court for the remainder of the season, but it is also very important news in the NBA market, since the name of the shooting guard has been mentioned in multiple transfer rumors without materializing in recent months.
The NBA transfer deadline is next Thursday, February 8.
The Bulls explained in their statement that the decision on the operation was made between the player, the franchise and his representation agency.
LaVine has had many physical problems this season, which left him without playing for the entire month of December and which have now stopped him since mid-January.
The 28-year-old guard is averaging 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this year. Those 19.5 points are his worst scoring records since his first season with the Bulls in the 2017-2018 season.
Chicago opted for LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to lead its project but this trio has never managed to bring the franchise to rub shoulders with the East’s elite in recent years.
Before starting this Saturday’s day, the Bulls are ninth in the East, with a balance of 23 wins and 26 losses.
