White amassed 42 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game victory over Atlanta.
White enjoyed a career night during the elimination game and led the Bulls in scoring by a wide margin. The fight for the eighth seed seems like a futile cause with the Celtics looming as the eventual opponent, but few teams could have beaten the Bulls on Wednesday night, galvanized by White's stellar evening. His stat line is a reminder that White should be considered as a favorite to win Most Improved Player honors.

Bulls' Coby White: Injures ankle, won't return
Rotowire
White won't return to Friday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle injury, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. He finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes before exiting with 6:06 remaining in the second quarter.
The severity of White's ankle injury isn't known, so his status will be worth tracking heading into Sunday's game at Orlando. If White isn't able to shake off the injury in time for Sunday, Ayo Dosunmu would likely see more time on the ball and see a notable spike in his fantasy value.

Bulls' Coby White: Poor shooting continues Friday
Rotowire
White closed Friday's 125-108 loss to Brooklyn with 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 39 minutes.
White continues to struggle to score the basketball, going 6-of-16 from the floor and 3-of-5 from the line. While it has been a fantastic season for White, his production of late has been hampered by inefficient shooting. He remains a must-roster player, but managers shouldn't be afraid to sideline him if field-goal percentage is looking like a swing category.

Bulls' Coby White: Hits for 22 in Monday's loss
Rotowire
White amassed 22 points (6-20 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Wizards.
It's the first time since March 7 that White has scored 20-plus points, as he gets back on track following a three-game absence due to a hip strain. Over 10 contests on the month, the fifth-year guard has averaged 19.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards and 2.6 threes, and injuries might be the only thing that will slow down White as he wraps up a breakout campaign.

Bulls' Coby White: Will play Monday
Rotowire
White (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.
As expected, White has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a third straight contest following a minor absence. White came off the bench in his first game back but started Saturday's loss to the Celtics and posted 11 points (3-11 FG), 10 assists and five rebounds in 36 minutes.

Bulls' Coby White: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
White is listed as probable for Monday's game against Washington due to a right hip strain.
White has compiled 65 minutes of action across two appearances since returning from a three-game absence due to right hip soreness, so it's likely that his presence on injury report is more maintenance related. He's trending in the right direction to play Monday as he continues ramping up.

Bulls' Coby White: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
White posted 11 points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and 10 assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 124-113 loss to the Celtics.
White tallied a double-double in the loss, albeit an uninspiring one. While the double-digit assists are nice, his inefficient scoring was less than ideal. With that said, it was only his second game since returning from a hip injury. Managers should take solace in the fact that he is back on the court, and, barring any setbacks, should look to build on this performance in a favorable matchup against the Wizards on Monday.

Bulls' Coby White: In starting lineup
Rotowire
White (hip) will start at point guard in Saturday's game against the Celtics.
White is returning to the starting lineup after playing 29 minutes off the bench in Chicago's previous game. As a result, he could be in line for more minutes as he continues to work his way back from a hip injury.

Bulls' Coby White: Listed probable for Saturday
Rotowire
White (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
White returned from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain Thursday and posted 13 points (5-13 FG) in 29 minutes during a loss to Houston. He's emerged from the game without suffering a setback and should be good to go Saturday, but the Bulls may continue to be cautious with the breakout point guard, who's averaging career highs in points (19.4), assists (5.2), rebounds (4.7) and made threes (2.8) per game.

Bulls' Coby White: Scores 13 points in return
Rotowire
White (hip) scored 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added four rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes in Thursday's 127-117 loss to the Rockets.
White struggled with his efficiency and came off the bench for the first time all season in his return from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain, but fantasy managers had to be encouraged by his minutes count in his first game back from the injury. Provided White experienced no setbacks during his time on the court, he could replace Torrey Craig in the starting five in the Bulls' next game Saturday versus the Celtics while taking on a workload closer to the 36.6 minutes per contest he's averaging on the season.

Bulls' Coby White: Playing off bench in return
Rotowire
White (hip) will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Houston.
White is returning from a three-game absence due to a hip issue, so his placement on the bench for the first time this season is likely designed to keep his minutes in check. Torrey Craig remains in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest, but White could unseat him on the top unit for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics.

Bulls' Coby White: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
White (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
White is back in action after a three-game stint on the sideline due to a right hip strain, which marked his first absences of the season. Though White could face a minutes restriction in his return, he'll likely reclaim his spot in the starting five while Torrey Craig heads back to the bench.

Bulls' Coby White: Deemed questionable against Houston
Rotowire

Bulls' Coby White: Goes through practice
Rotowire
White (hip) practiced in full Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
White has missed the past three games for Chicago, but he's trending in the right direction. Coach Billy Donovan said White will see how he feels Thursday morning before a decision is made on his status, but his chances of playing against Houston appear to be pretty good.

Bulls' Coby White: Unavailable Monday
Rotowire
White (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
As expected, White has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game due to a left hip strain, but he is making progress, per Johnson. Ayo Dosunmu should continue to thrive in White's absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Houston.

Bulls' Coby White: Doubtful to play Monday
Rotowire
White (hip) is doubtful for Monday's game against Portland.
White is at risk of missing his third consecutive game due to a right hip strain, although the injury is not expected to cause an extended absence. If he is unable to suit up, Ayo Dosunmu has boom appeal after posting 34 points in Saturday's victory over the admittedly porous Wizards.
