Kristaps Porzingis finishes with 34 points, carrying Celtics over Bulls 122-100
For the second year in a row, the NBA All-Star Game will not feature a player from the Chicago Bulls. Zach LaVine — a two-time All-Star in 2021 and ’22 — was passed over Thursday for a reserve spot in the Eastern Conference despite ranking 10th in the East in scoring (24 points per game) and shooting 51.
The Chicago Bulls, playing without star guard Zach LaVine, lost the opener of a three-game trip Wednesday night, falling to the Boston Celtics 122-100.
Brown finished with 28 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-100 victory over the Bulls. The 28-year-old wing has found his rhythm.
Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
The extra work and film study seems to be paying off for Buzelis the last week, with his minutes up to 20-plus in back-to-back games. Even better for the rook is he's learning under fire and making the adjustments on both ends of the floor.
Jaylen Brown is paying tribute to a former Boston Celtics vice president who died of brain cancer in 2023. The Celtics also paid homage.
Coby White led the Bulls with 16 points in 31 minutes in his first game after missing four straight with an ankle injury.
Celtics could trade All-Star guard to Bulls for Zach LaVine, former No. 11 pick
Bulls' Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic left off East All-Star team
It was going to be an uphill climb for the Bulls duo anyway, based on record alone, but statistically they had an argument to make.
Zach LaVine in a multi-team deal? Nikola Vučević for a first-round pick? Chicago Bulls trade deadline options.
Time is turning into the enemy for the Chicago Bulls front office in the final 10 days before the NBA trade deadline. The front office is trying to avoid dealing in desperation — but moves have to be made this year.
Boston’s options for adding on that front are quite limited with the assumption they don’t want to touch anyone in the existing rotation. Jaden Springer’s $4 million salary caps what the team can send out for a player in a swap since the Celtics can’t aggregate salaries as a second apron.
