Coby White's season debut came to an abrupt end as the Chicago Bulls fell to the Utah Jazz in double overtime, 150-147. The highly anticipated return of the young guard, who had been sidelined since August with a calf injury, did not go as planned.
White's aggressive playing style was on full display as he poured in 27 points and dished out eight assists in just over 28 minutes of action. He went a perfect 14-for-14 from the free-throw line, showcasing his clutch gene. Despite being restricted to fewer than six minutes due to his injury, White still managed to make an impact on the game.
The Bulls' struggles continued as they lost their fifth consecutive game, with White's teammates unable to pick up the slack. Coach Billy Donovan praised White for coming back from his injury and being aggressive on the court, saying that it brought a new level of depth to the team.
However, the Jazz had other plans. Lauri Markkanen led all scorers with 47 points, including several big shots down the stretch. Keyonte George's three-pointer with two seconds left in the second overtime sealed the win for the Jazz.
Despite the loss, Donovan expressed relief that White was back on the court, saying that he had been missing from the team's practice sessions and that his return would allow the Bulls to regain their footing. The coach acknowledged that injuries are a part of the game, but praised White's work ethic and commitment to returning quickly.
The win marked a much-needed boost for the Jazz, who had struggled with injuries earlier in the season. With Markkanen and George leading the way, the team is looking to build on this momentum going forward.

. Coby White's comeback was hyped up so much and then he goes and has a decent game but gets benched after like 28 minutes? 
It just doesn't add up. And don't even get me started on the Bulls' team effort - they're getting crushed five games in a row... what's going on over there? 
I mean, Coach Donovan is trying to spin it as a positive but let's be real, White's return is supposed to be a game-changer and he barely made an impact. 
I'm not surprised about that loss for the Bulls... Coby White's been gone for a minute, but he still brought the heat when he got back out there! 14-for-14 from the line? 
That's clutch right there. And to be honest, it kinda feels like they were expecting him to just magically fix all their problems since he came back... Newsflash: injuries happen, and teams gotta work together if you wanna win. I'm loving the coach's attitude though - yeah, we all know injuries are part of the game, but kudos for praising Coby's work ethic 
just saw that Coby White's comeback was cut short by a 5-game losing streak for the Bulls... can't even get one win under his belt 
. Meanwhile, the Jazz are riding high after that sick 3-pointer by Keyonte George to seal the win 
. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he's back on the court, but it feels like we're stuck in a never-ending cycle of injuries and losses 
. The Bulls' struggles just keep piling up... 
I know Coby White just got back from his injury and it's not like he didn't try, but 28 minutes of playing time feels kinda short? Like, he was aggressive and all, but you'd think he could've gotten more court time. Guess the Bulls' offense needs a lot of work, tho 
. On the other hand, Lauri Markkanen is on fire rn! That guy's got skills for days 
.
he played like a beast and showed us what we've been waiting for! coach donovan should give him more minutes tho, 28 mins is barely enough for someone with his skills 
anyway, the jazz got lucky with markkanen's clutch shots and george's three-pointer. but for real, i'm so glad coby's back on track now
