Bulls Host Wizards in Home Opener Tonight: Claxton Still Out With Hamstring Injury
On Saturday, October 24, the Chicago Bulls, in Cook County, Illinois, play their first home game of the season against the Washington Wizards. The Bulls come in with momentum after a big comeback in Milwaukee, rallying from 15 points down to win 132-125, and hope to carry it into the home opener. Inside, center Nic Claxton remains out with a hamstring injury and is not expected back until around November 4, leaving the Bulls to lean on their current rotation in the paint. A dense stretch follows: a trip to Boston to face the Celtics on Monday, October 26, the New York Knicks at home on October 28, and another trip to Boston on October 30. For the Bulls, tonight's home opener is both a first meeting with home fans this season and a key early test; a win before the gauntlet of strong opponents would shape the team's confidence and place in the standings.
