Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic writes that White pointed to Chicago’s three-game road trip starting on November 16 or one of the following games against the Nuggets and Trail Blazers as “what [he’s] been told” in terms of a potential return and this time on the sidelines may soon be coming to an end, reported Lorenzi.
White and head coach Billy Donovan both said that White will likely begin practicing next week, and Donovan points to the team’s three-day break starting November 13 as a chance for White to get some full-contact practice reps in. White is currently going through 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 work with teammates and the coaching staff.
White has been out since mid-August with the injury, which was supposed to be healed by the time of the season opener, before calf tightness forced him to push his timetable back.
