The Bulls now have nine players in the league’s health and safety protocols, which could soon lead to a postponement in games if the outbreak continues. Per Wojnarowski, the league rules state that Chicago needs eight eligible players to play.
The Bulls signed Stanley Johnson under the hardship waiver, but Johnson landed in protocols after starting the last two games for the Bulls.
Chicago’s next game is on Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons.
