Barring a few stints in the NBA's health and safety protocols, the Bulls' core four -- Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic -- has been intact for the majority of the season. However, the fifth spot in the starting lineup has been a revolving door all year after Patrick Williams was lost to a wrist injury at the end of October. Javonte Green stepped up in Williams' absence, but he recently suffered a groin injury that will keep him sidelined for a couple weeks, which opened the door for Jones, who -- as mentioned -- suffered a significant injury of his own just 30 seconds into Wednesday's game. McKinnie, who was signed for the rest of the season after impressing during a 10-day contract, entered the game and played 20 minutes during the loss and will likely be a candidate to draw starts for the Bulls moving forward, at least until Alex Caruso returns from COVID-19 protocols.
