LaVine's Ankle Injury Complicates Trade Talks as Bulls Struggle Without Him
- LaVine has a sprained right ankle and his troublesome right foot is flaring up again, causing a lot of discomfort
- He will be re-evaluated in a week, meaning he likely won't return until after the trade deadline on Feb 8
- Trade talks with the Pistons for LaVine have happened but aren't very serious; other teams have inquired about LaVine's availability
- If LaVine remains injured, it complicates any potential trade scenario with his availability in question
- The Bulls lost to the Lakers 141-132, struggling with 16 turnovers for 26 Lakers' points and allowing 20 made 3-pointers
