Bulls' Coby White Returns with Sizzling Shooting Display as Chicago Takes Down Clippers in Thrilling Matchup
A sold-out crowd at the United Center witnessed a resurgent performance from Bulls guard Coby White, who poured in 27 points, including a game-high six three-pointers, to lead his team to a 138-110 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The display was on full display with White's shooting prowess, which has been largely absent this season due to calf injuries.
White's shooting extravaganza started early, hitting his first three-pointer just shy of three minutes into the game, and it continued throughout the contest, with him finishing 60% from beyond the arc. The Bulls' record-breaking 25 threes marked a significant improvement in their offense, which has been struggling to find consistency this season.
Coach Billy Donovan expressed relief at White's return, acknowledging that his rehabilitation process was arduous due to multiple calf injuries. "It's been a long road back for him," Donovan said. "You miss an entire training camp. You miss part of the ending part of the summer. You're trying to get yourself back in shape... but your body doesn't feel great because you haven't built up that endurance."
White credited his recent improvement to working on his shot prep and studying film from last season, where he found ways to differ his shooting form. "You've got to have confidence that you're gonna get back to who you are," White said. "It starts with stuff that I can control. Then, if you check those boxes, you live with the result."
The Clippers, without All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard, were unable to keep pace with the Bulls' high-scoring offense. The playmaking responsibilities fell to James Harden, who led the team with 24 points, while forward John Collins chipped in with 23. Despite their struggles, the Clippers showed glimpses of brilliance before succumbing to the Bulls' relentless attack.
The win marked a crucial victory for the Bulls, who are now looking to solidify their position in the league ahead of the trade deadline. With Coby White at his best, they seem poised to make some noise in the coming weeks. Next up for the Bulls is a showdown against the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Thursday, followed by games against the Celtics and Heat.
White's recent resurgence has rekindled debate about his future with the team, as he becomes eligible for free agency after this season. Will the Bulls be able to keep him, or will they make a move to shed their prized asset? With White firing on all cylinders, one thing is clear: he's back to being an elite player in the league, and it's up to the Bulls to figure out what that means for their future.

, got 27 points and made 6 three pointers 
! He was on fire 
️ all game long 
. Coach Billy Donovan is so relieved he's back 
. The Bulls' offense is looking up 
after a rough season. White's been working hard on his shot prep 
and studying film from last season 
. He's got the confidence now 
, but will it be enough to keep him in Chicago? 
That was a crazy game last night, and I'm so glad I got to see it. Who else watched? 
. Coby White has always had the potential to be an MVP candidate, and it’s awesome to see him finally back in form 
️. Also, Coach Donovan is being super honest about the road to recovery – it's not easy getting back from multiple calf injuries 
. On a bigger note, this win makes me wonder what will happen with Coby White's future with the Bulls... Will they try to re-sign him or make a trade? The possibilities are endless 
. The Clippers can't even touch them right now 
. This win is huge for the Bulls and I'm loving every minute of it 
his game-high 6 threes was insane 
! 
"you miss an entire training camp"... thats a lot of time lost 
. but white's confidence is growing, and that's what makes him so deadly 
. he's a superstar player, and they can't afford to lose him 
! 
Either way, as a fan, I'm just stoked to watch him play! 
The trade deadline is gonna be fun, that's for sure...
it's like... we're excited to see him dominate again, but also worried about what might happen when he hits the market 
Now, the question is, what does this mean for his future with the team? Will they keep him or make a move? IDK, BUT I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING TO WATCH 
. the clippers didn't stand a chance with james harden leadin the team 
. bulls are gonna make some noise in the league now 
. And can we talk about how poorly written the summaries are? "Thrilling matchup" and "resurgent performance"... give me some real stats or analysis instead of just using buzzwords 
. 
the bulls are looking solid now, but will they keep him or make a move? 
it keeps locking me out every 5 minutes like my post is some sort of malware or something! anyway back to Coby White, dude is a beast on the court right now
