Zach LaVine Returns to the UC, Sacramento’s Struggles, Ayo’s SMOTY Case, and Other Bulls Bullets

The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Sacramento Kings into the United Center tonight, and I think we all know there is only one way that game will end … A tie. In all seriousness, few things would feel more Bulls than having your first loss of the 2025-26 season come against Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.

Streaming and sports television

2025 Season in Review: Jac Caglianone

It was the Jac-est of times, it was the Caglianonest of times. What did we expect to happen?
