White will not play in Monday's game against the Nuggets for injury management reasons, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
White made his season debut Sunday, where he logged an impressive 27 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 14-14 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and a steal in 30 minutes. White will sit out the second half of the back-to-back set Monday as he continues to ease back into play. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter will likely see sizable roles in White's absence.

Bulls' Coby White: Will make season debut Sunday
Rotowire
White (calf) will play under an unspecified minutes restriction in Sunday's game against the Jazz, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
White will make his season debut after missing an extended period due to a calf strain he suffered in August. However, the 25-year-old shooting guard will be limited during his return. With White back in action, Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter are candidates to see fewer minutes.

This is a great sign for the Bulls, as this was his first full practice of the season. This was considered a lighter session, so coach Billy Donovan said he'll see how the guard responds to more contact Saturday. For now, a return Nov. 16 against the Jazz appears to be on the table.

Bulls' Coby White: Return not yet imminent
Rotowire
The Bulls hope White (calf) will be able to make his season debut in a couple of weeks, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
It sounds like White's rehab with a right calf strain will continue through the first half of November. That said, the guard should have a chance to be cleared for action at some point later this month. While White is ramping up, Tre Jones remains close to a must-roster fantasy player in most leagues.

Bulls' Coby White: Remaining out vs. Philadelphia
Rotowire
White (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
White has yet to suit up this season due to a right calf strain he sustained in August. With the 25-year-old guard sidelined, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter will likely continue seeing increased minutes. White can be considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Bucks until the Bulls provide another update on his status. Coach Billy Donovan said last week that White is "completely pain-free" and will be re-evaluated sometime this week.

Bulls' Coby White: Running and shooting pain-free
Rotowire
White (calf) is "completely pain-free" and has been running and getting shots up at practice.
"Just talking to the medical, here's the problem: Like [White] doesn't have any pain at all with what he's doing," Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Monday. "He's on the court shooting, he's able to jog, but what ended up happening and what became a problem when we were playing competitively in practice were those stops, starts, quick explosiveness that maybe he's not doing a lot of that in individual workout." Donovan added that they want to be extra cautious bringing him back to avoid any setbacks, so while he'll be re-evaluated sometime within the next week, it doesn't sound like he's particularly close to getting back to the court.
The Bulls announced Monday that White (calf) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
This is a tough blow for the Bulls, as previous reports had indicated that White would be available for Opening Night. White has resumed on-court basketball activities and continues to make progress in his ramp up phase for a right calf strain, but it sounds like the Bulls are going to proceed with caution. Based on this timetable, White will be re-evaluated Nov. 3, but there's no guarantee he returns right after that. For now, White can be safely ruled out for the first six games of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls could turn to Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu, with Josh Giddey picking up more usage as well.

Bulls' Coby White: Expected to play Opening Night
Rotowire
White (calf) is expected to play Opening Night against the Pistons on Oct. 22, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
White, who missed the entire preseason with a calf strain, will practice in full Saturday. Over the next few days, the Bulls will ramp him up with some contact work as the final stage of his rehab. Assuming there are no setbacks, White will have the green light for Opening Night.
Bulls' Coby White: Not expected to play in preseason
Rotowire
Bulls coach Billy Donovan said that while he expects Coby White (calf) to be ready by Opening Night, he doesn't anticipate him suiting up during the preseason, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
White is in the final stages of recovery from a calf strain, and while he reportedly feels pretty good, there's just not enough "ramp-up time" to get him on the court for one of Chicago's final two exhibition games. It sounds like White will be good to go for Opening Night, but don't be surprised if he's eased into things after not getting any preseason reps.
The Bulls are hoping to have White (calf) available for their final preseason game Oct. 16 against the Timberwolves, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
White is working his way back from a calf strain that he suffered in August. He hasn't been cleared to return to practice yet, and this report means he'll miss at least four of Chicago's five exhibitions. However, he has a chance to play prior to Opening Night, which bodes well for his availability to begin the regular season.
