Thad Young Will Miss Bulls’ Preseason Opener

This afternoon, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reported that Bulls’ forward Thaddeus Young will miss the preseason opener against the Rockets tonight with a lower left leg infection.

This comes as a surprise as Young’s name was being floated around as the starting small forward tonight and he spoke to the media via Zoom after this morning’s shootaround. While it is a preseason game, Chandler Hutchison and rookie Patrick Williams will likely take on the extra minutes.

Currently, there is no time table for Young’s return.
