Zach LaVine, a star for the Chicago Bulls, will need surgery on his right foot to end the season.

CHICAGO (AP) — Zach LaVine, a star player for the Chicago Bulls, will need surgery on his right foot to end the season. This raises a number of serious concerns for the team both before and after the NBA trade deadline.

The Bulls announced on Saturday that LaVine and his agency, Klutch Sports Group, made the decision after conferring with outside medical personnel and the team’s training and medical staff. After the procedure, which is anticipated to take place next week, the two-time All-Star will miss four to six months of action.

Coach Billy Donovan stated, “I think he made a decision that was best for his health.” “I think he made every effort to resume playing,” the player said. His foot pain, in my opinion, was causing him to feel as though he had no chance of being himself or making a meaningful contribution, which I believe was extremely difficult and frustrating for him.
