Another strong performance
White accumulated 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 win over Portland.
Analysis
White scored at least 25 points for the second straight game since returning from a calf injury, despite continuing to play under a minutes restriction. While he has come off the bench in both games, it is only a matter of time before he enters the starting lineup. Through two games, he has averaged 26.0 points, 7.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.0 three-pointers.

To see 26-28 minutes
White will be limited to 26-28 minutes during Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analysis
White was under a minutes restriction when he made his season debut Sunday, but he wound up playing 30 minutes during a double-overtime loss to the Jazz. Assuming Wednesday's contest wraps up after four quarters, White should finish in the 26-28 minute range. He notched 27 points and eight assists Sunday. He'll come off the bench again Wednesday.

Off injury report
White (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
White made his 2025-26 debut in Sunday's double-overtime loss to Utah after missing Chicago's first 11 regular-season games due to a right calf strain. He came off the bench against the Jazz but could enter the Bulls' starting lineup once he's gotten his conditioning up to game speed. He finished with 27 points, eight assists, four rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's contest.

Excels in debut, will sit Monday
White (calf) recorded 27 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 14-14 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes Sunday in the Bulls' 150-147 double-overtime loss to the Jazz.
Analysis
For just the third time in three seasons, White was deployed off the bench, with the Bulls doing so in an effort to manage his minutes in his 2025-26 debut. Though head coach Billy Donovan suggested prior to the game that White would be on a 24-minute limit, Donovan noted that the Bulls felt comfortable extending the 25-year-old after he relayed that he was feeling stronger as the game progressed, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. Though White fared well during his time on the court and seemingly came out of Sunday's game free of setbacks, the Bulls have already ruled him out for Monday's game in Denver for right calf strain injury management. White should return to action Wednesday in Portland but is likely to sit out again in one game of Chicago's upcoming back-to-back set Friday and Saturday versus the Heat and Wizards, respectively.

Will make season debut Sunday
White (calf) will play under an unspecified minutes restriction in Sunday's game against the Jazz, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Analysis
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.
November 16, 2025
Expected to play Sunday
White (calf) is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Jazz, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analysis
White is officially listed as questionable, but barring a setback in warmups, it appears that he will give it a go against the Jazz. Sunday marks the beginning of a stretch of five games in seven days for the Bulls, and White has said that he would like to suit up in at least three of them, albeit with likely restrictions.

Gets questionable tag
White (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Jazz.
Analysis
This is an expected update for White, as he's getting closer to making his season debut. He took contact at Saturday's practice, and coach Billy Donovan said he responded well. The Bulls play five games in the span of a week, and White has said previously that he would like to play in at least three of them.

Participates in practice
White (calf) practiced with the team Saturday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analysis
White is entering the final stages of his recovery from a calf strain. The star guard's season debut could come as soon as Sunday against Utah, and the Bulls should reveal if that's a possibility via their injury report later Saturday.
November 14, 2025
Logs full practice Friday
White (calf) practiced in full Friday, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
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.
