Kobe White is trying to find a silver lining in an ugly comeback from a calf injury against the Celtics
on monday, Chicago Bulls were thrown for a loop when Coby White has been cleared to play against the Boston Celtics. This comes after a a recent calf injury that should have sidelined him at least a week.
However, he played a limited 25 minutes against the Celtics as the Bulls lost 115-101. White scored 5 points and grabbed six rebounds.
Afterward, White said the dynamic was complex; he holds “a positive outlook, according to NBA.com’s Sam Smith.
“It’s pretty tough when you’re in and out of the lineup and you know you can only play a certain amount of minutes, and you’re out there and you look up and, ‘Man, all I got is two more minutes and I know I’m out.’ It’s hard,” White said. “But it is what it is. I try to keep a positive outlook. I’m happy to be out there, but it’s a challenge to get into a rhythm as a player.
Kobe White had a rough season
That said, White admitted that this season has been tough for him, but he’s committed to getting it done.
“I felt good,” White said. “I didn’t think about (the calf). This year has been so exciting going in and out and just when I feel like I’m getting into a rhythm playing back-to-back games….(It was) my first game back. I’m not putting too much stock in it. I’ll figure it out…because I always do. My resume speaks for itself, I figured.”
With the loss, the Bulls are now 17-19 and will face the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. At the beginning of the year, White was sidelined with a calf injury.
White has played in 17 games so far and is averaging 18.4 points and 4.6 assists.
