Expected to play Opening Night
White (calf) is expected to play Opening Night against the Pistons on Oct. 22, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analysis
White, who missed the entire preseason with a calf strain, will practice in full Saturday. Over the next few days, the Bulls will ramp him up with some contact work as the final stage of his rehab. Assuming there's no setbacks, White will have the green light for Opening Night.

Not expected to play in preseason
Bulls coach Billy Donovan said that while he expects Coby White (calf) to be ready by Opening Night, he doesn't anticipate him suiting up during the preseason, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analysis
White is in the final stages of recovery from a calf strain, and while he reportedly feels pretty good, there's just not enough "ramp-up time" to get him on the court for one of Chicago's final two exhibition games. It sounds like White will be good to go for Opening Night, but don't be surprised if he's eased into things after not getting any preseason reps.
