Nikola Vucevic to return tonight after COVID-19 absence

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Vooch will play tonight … limited minutes … wants to give it a run since he’s been cleared. Said it’s been tough to sit and miss this amount of time. – 1:14 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Bulls list Alex Caruso and Nikola Vucevic as questionable vs. Rockets. That’s 50-50 in injury report parlance. – 1:34 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Nikola Vucevic will travel with Bulls to Houston, Billy Donovan says. No update on his status regarding clearance to play yet – 10:26 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Nikola Vucevic will travel on Bulls’ two-game trip. Workout scheduled for tomorrow. Donovan won’t commit to him playing yet. – 10:26 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Bulls look very much like a team on the second night of a back-to-back, who had one night off following a 5-game west coast road trip and are playing without Caruso and Vucevic – 9:46 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
The latest on Caruso’s left wrist injury, and yet another Vooch update. The bodies are piling up!

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Billy Donovan said Nikola Vucevic is still in cardiovascular testing phase of COVID protocol. Not sure yet if he’ll travel to Houston and Orlando later in week, will know more after tonight’s game
Added Vucevic seems to be doing “great” and it’s been good to catch up with him – 6:28 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Bulls list Nikola Vucevic out vs. Pacers and Alex Caruso questionable with a left wrist contusion. – 1:33 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
If Coby White plays to form as he did vs. Knicks, Billy Donovan’s usage of staggering either DeRozan/LaVine with 2nd unit will carry even more pop.
Bulls have 7th-ranked offense. And between absences of White, Williams and Vucevic, doesn’t feel like it has reached potential yet – 9:50 AM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Vucevic remains sidelined tonight against Knicks – health and safety protocols. Cleared testing but next step physical testing. – 6:19 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan said Nikola Vucevic is going to start cardiac screening. Will be at arena tonight. Out of isolation. Not cleared to play yet. – 6:15 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Nikola Vucevic is out of isolation and beginning cardiovascular testing, per Billy Donovan. Adds he expects Vucevic to be in the arena tonight – 6:15 PM
