It’s official. Chicago Bulls’ head coach Billy Donovan revealed that combo guard Coby White will make his season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

White has been practicing in full with the team for the last week or so. Last Sunday, he took live contact in a practice. During the week, he participated in five-on-five scrimmages.

White's return will be a major boost for the Bulls’ bench. He can score at will and provide consistent buckets among a reserve group in desperate need of that very skillset.
