Bulls guard Coby White will miss the start of the season because of a strained right calf he suffered in the offseason.
Coach Billy Donovan told reporters Monday that White did not experience a setback in his recovery from an injury he suffered in August but did feel tightness following Saturday’s practice. The team said he will be reevaluated in two weeks.
White, who averaged a career-high 20.4 points last season, figures to miss at least six games, starting with the opener against Detroit on Wednesday. The Bulls also play Orlando, Atlanta, Sacramento and New York twice during that stretch.
Chicago went 39-43 for the second straight year and finished ninth in the Eastern Conference last season.
