Zach LaVine To Tough It Out Thursday
3 years agoChicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thumb), listed as questionable, will suit up for Thursday's game against the Knicks. LaVine suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb but has opted to play through the ailment- with head coach Billy Donovan noting that the team will have to adjust on the fly depending on how well the star guard can tolerate the pain he'll be playing through. While it's not his shooting hand, it will still impact how LaVine holds the ball, which certainly isn't ideal for a player with such a high workload on a nightly basis. Still, it's impossible to advocate sitting LaVine in fantasy basketball right now, as he's averaging over 25 points, five rebounds, four assists, and three triples made per game so far this year.
