Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said after Sunday's 113-102 loss to the Trail Blazers that White was held out for the final 4:12 of the contest due to a sore ankle, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
White was limited to 27 minutes -- his fewest since Dec. 21 -- and finished with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds. Donovan noted that White didn't seem to be moving around well late in the fourth quarter, prompting the coach to keep the guard out of the Bulls' closing lineup. White received treatment on his ankle after the game, and the Bulls will check back in on his condition Monday before deciding if he'll be available to play against the Clippers later that night in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

White (neck) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bulls will be at close to full strength for this matchup Friday, and White should handle his regular workload in the backcourt. The star guard is averaging 20.7 points, 4.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

White averaged 33.5 minutes in Chicago's most recent back-to-back sets Tuesday and Wednesday, and the probable tag suggests that his neck injury continues to improve.

White (neck) will play in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
White has been dealing with a neck strain over the last few days, but the injury won't sideline him Wednesday. The 24-year-old played 34 minutes Tuesday during the first leg of Chicago's back-to-back set and should see another full workload Wednesday.

White (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
White returned from a one-game absence Tuesday versus the Pelicans, fishing with 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes. With the questionable designation, it's possible the Bulls want to see how his neck responded to the workload before determining his status for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Lonzo Ball (rest) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) are also carrying questionable tags for this contest.

White accumulated 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old guard's production has taken a small step back after his 2023-24 breakout, but only due to a slight drop in shot volume. White has scored in double digits in 16 straight appearances since the beginning of December, averaging 18.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.8 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch, and if the Bulls find takers for veterans like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic ahead of the trade deadline, White could see his usage skyrocket.

White (neck) is available for Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings due to a neck strain, though he'll return to game action on Tuesday. There is no indication that the star guard will operate under a minutes restriction. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 21.4 points, 4.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest.

White (neck) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
White did not play Sunday versus Sacramento due to his neck strain, and his status Tuesday is in jeopardy. His backup, Ayo Dosunmu, is also questionable due to a calf injury, meaning Lonzo Ball may start again if White can't go.

White (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
White will miss his first contest since Dec. 5 due to a neck strain, and his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against New Orleans. With the star guard sidelined, Talen Horton-Tucker, Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

White is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to a cervical strain.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new issue for White, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. White has been excellent to open January, posting averages of 21.4 points, 4.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 4.0 three-pointers over his last five games. If White can't go, Josh Giddey and Zach LaVine could soak up more usage, and Lonzo Ball would be a candidate for more minutes.
