Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Expected back Thursday

Vucevic (hip) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

A hip injury has kept Vucevic out of the last two games, but he's moving in the right direction and is on course to return to action Thursday night. The Bulls are also expected to get Zach LaVine (health and safety protocols) back, so it will likely be the first game the star duo have played together since April 14.
