The combination of Zach LaVine's name and trade rumors is far from a new storyline within the Bulls organization. On Nov 14, 2023, reporting surfaced from The Athletic that both LaVine and the Bulls had mutual interest in exploring trade opportunities.

Over the course of the 2023-2024 NBA regular season, LaVine's name was linked in trade rumors to multiple NBA franchises such as the Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, and Detroit Pistons.

Zach LaVine's 2023-2024 NBA regular season officially ended on Feb 3, 2024, when the Chicago Bulls announced that LaVine would undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot.

Zach LaVine said he’s “ahead of schedule” for his surgery to repair a “non-union Jones fracture.”

Reported last month LaVine hoped to be at full strength in 3 months, not the 4-6 month timeline.

Said he’ll obviously be ready to go for training camp.
