Seven weeks after the injury of Alex Caruso, swung to the ground by Grayson Allen and victim of a broken wrist, the Chicago player should be able to train with the group this Friday, announced Billy Donovan.
This is good news, completely in line with the schedule that was given at the time of his operation (six to eight weeks of absence), and it adds to that of Patrick Williams, who is also authorized to return to training with contacts, even if his presence this Friday is very unlikely.
“As for return dates for these two, I’m not sure”explains the Bulls coach for NBC Sports. “The doctors examined them and cleared them to train. They can play with contact. “
The situations of the two players are obviously different since the former Lakers missed “only” seven weeks of competition and his return could come soon enough.
“Caruso has been dribbling for a week or ten days, but he needs to recover his power”says Billy Donovan. “So it’s going to depend on how long he’s going to need to feel comfortable shooting and passing. It is estimated that he is healed enough to make five-against-five. “
Patrick Williams, also hit in the wrist, has not played since October 28, more than four months. The Bulls will take their time before relaunching him.
“We put him in a situation of having contact in one-on-one”continues the coach. “With a minimum of contact, facing a player. But he will not go directly to five-against-five. We did a lot of one-against-zero with him, with pick-and-roll situations and screens. Now the next step is contact. We will obviously be careful. “
