Zach LaVine will become an unrestricted free agent for the first time this season. After five years with the Bulls, the guard said he's open to a future outside Chicago.
LaVine was sidelined for the Bulls’ final game of their 4-1 playoff series loss to the Milwaukee Bucks after playing through pain in his left knee for most of the season. His first priority this summer will be revisiting a specialist in Los Angeles to examine options, which could include surgery.
But despite spending most of the season “putting my team before myself,” LaVine still averaged 24.4 points and 4.5 assists in one of the most prolific seasons of his career.A daily sports newsletter delivered to your inbox for your morning commute.Bulls guard Zach LaVine heads to the locker after a 111-81 loss to the Bucks at United Center on April 22, 2022.Advertisement
That chaos has already started after Dejounte Murray — a fellow Seattle native and longtime friend of LaVine — briefly posted a photoshopped picture of LaVine in a San Antonio Spurs jersey Thursday before taking it down. LaVine shot down any rumors that Murray’s post could be linked with a San Antonio move.[Don’t miss] Lonzo Ball’s frustrations continue in recovery from knee surgery after Chicago Bulls season endsThe Bulls have plenty of advantages on their side.
But after playing in only four playoff games in eight seasons, LaVine has made it clear this summer will be his opportunity to finally make his own path in the league — even if that means staying in Chicago. “I’ve been here for the past five years. I have to do this as a business decision, as a man, just to not be viewing it one way,” LaVine said. “It’s unrestricted free agency. For my family, for me, I have to go and look at this as a decision where I have to be open-eyed. I have to make my list and talk to everybody.”
