What's Zach LaVine's status for tonight's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Zach LaVine #8 of the Chicago Bulls shoots the ball against Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers in the first half at the Wells Fargo Center on March 7, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Chicago Bulls have announced the availability of their small forward Zach LaVine in tonight's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as questionable. The 27-year old is said to have soreness in his left knee.

The Cavs are coming into the game after suffering a defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat last night. They had earlier recorded two wins against the Toronto Raptors and the Indiana Pacers. The youth-filled team is ranked sixth in the east with a 38-28 record as they try to make their way back to the playoffs after being absent for three years.

It is our prediction that LaVine might suit up for the Bulls if cleared by the medical department. Coming from a 5-game losing streak before the win over the Detroit Pistons. Billy Donovan would be keen to build the momentum and what better way to do it than with Zach LaVine on the court.
