Here in Chicago we’ve grown a tad jaded when it comes to anticipating the return of injured players.
Zach is almost back
Something tells me that’s a partial reason why Zach LaVine’s rehab has been so mildly discussed within Chicago fan circles. That and perhaps the fact he’s never actually played a single game in a Chicago uniform would be my first guesses.
Well, that will all soon change as the first video of Zach LaVine showing off his other worldly athleticism has finally surfaced– and boy is it a treat.

As far as a return to actual game action Vince Goodwill of NBC Sports Chicago reported today that LaVine’s timetable has been pushed back from mid-December to late December.
Nikola Mirotic and Zach LaVine will practice with the G-League team this week, staying behind from the Denver trip. LaVine's timeline closer to end of December than middle

Be that as it may, we haven’t been waiting on the edge of our seats thus far, and the Bulls won’t be going anywhere this year anyways– so fuck it, patience is the game. As far as what LaVine and the Bulls brass decide they are most comfortable with– hey, my name’s Paul and that shit’s between ya’ll. Until that day comes I’ll remain here… Patiently waiting for the day LaVine puts someone on a poster.
We’ve been waiting patiently to see what we got in return for Jimmy Butler. Zach LaVine soaring in practice is a great first step.
