Bulls’ Zach LaVine Out for the Season Due to Foot Surgery

Chicago Bulls wing Zach LaVine is set to miss the rest of the season following an upcoming surgical procedure to fix a right foot injury, the Bulls revealed on Saturday.

The two-time All-Star was absent for 17 games at the start of this season due to the foot issue. A recent ankle injury has also kept him out of the last six games.

The 28-year-old LaVine concludes his 10th NBA season after appearing in 25 games. He averaged 19.5 points per game and achieved a career-high of 5.2 points.

LaVine was also a significant element in several speculated transactions as the NBA trade deadline approaches next week.

It is anticipated that LaVine will be inactive for a period of four to six months.

LaVine, who was chosen as the 13th overall pick from UCLA by Minnesota in 2014, spent three seasons with the Timberwolves before being traded to the Bulls in June 2017 along with Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall pick in exchange for Jimmy Butler and the No. 16 overall pick.

Throughout his career, he has averaged 20.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.
