Mike Dunleavy To Return Against Kings
(CBS) After missing 19 straight games with a right ankle jam, Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy will return tonight against the Kings at the United Center, Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said.
Dunleavy "could" start like he typically does, Thibodeau added. The Bulls are 12-3 in the limited time they've had their regular starting lineup of Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Dunleavy, Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol healthy.
"You got to build some continuity, and that's the biggest thing," Thibodeau said.
The most important aspect of having Dunleavy back is his floor spacing. Dunleavy is averaging 9.6 points and shooting nearly 42 percent from 3-point range.
"The big thing is the shooting," Thibodeau said. "Mike's a ball mover. He moves well without the ball."
