Zach LaVine Speaks Out Against COVID Protocols As He Remains Forced To Sit

Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine has been forced to sit for the past couple of weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. As the Bulls remain in the hunt for a playoff spot, he’s starting to get antsy, and wants to be on the court.

Prior to the Bulls game against the Knicks on Wednesday night, LaVine took to social media to share his thoughts on not be able to lace em up.

“These protocols are for the BIRDS I’m good….” LaVine said on his Twitter.

It seems like Zach LaVine and Bulls fans think that the league’s COVID rules are a bit much. Zach has already been out for a while, and it looks like he never really had any real symptoms.

If the Bulls want any chance of making the playoffs, they’ll need Zach LaVine back…and very soon.
