Bulls' Joffrey Lauvergne: Will not play Friday vs. Suns

Lauvergne will suit up but not take the floor during Friday's game against the Suns, Nick Friedell of ESPN reports.

Coach Fred Hoiberg seems to want Lauvergne to get acclimated to his new team before taking the floor, so he'll be held out of Friday's game. When he does take the floor, he'll be a stretch big man for the Bulls, as he's hitting 34.6 percent of his threes this season.
