The Chicago Bulls lost 136-120 at home to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. This was their fourth consecutive defeat and their first game at home. Following the seven trades he made This last week.
Certainly, the bulls are adjusting to this new dynamic. One of those players is second-year guard Matas Buzzelis. After the game, head coach Billy Donovan clarify That Buzzellis is still recovering from the loss of his former teammates. These include Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Nikola Vucevic, Kevin Huerter, Javon Carter, Julian Phillips and Dallen Terry.
Donovan said, “I still think he's taking action on guys that he probably thinks will be helpful to him as a rookie and in his second year.” “As much as he understands the business side of it, I still think it's different for him, and he's still processing some of that stuff.”
“I think it speaks volumes about his relationship with all those people.”
