Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has entered health and safety protocols. He is expected to miss Wednesday's Game 5 vs Milwaukee Bucks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Chicago is facing an elimination game against the Bucks, trailing the first-round series 3-1 following Sunday's blowout defeat at United Center.
The former Slam Dunk Contest champion would join Alex Caruso (concussion protocol) and Lonzo Ball (knee) on the team's list of unavailable guards.
LaVine, 26, is averaging 19.3 points, 6.0 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 4 games in the series of Round 1 against the Bucks.
