White amassed 42 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game victory over Atlanta.
White enjoyed a career night during the elimination game and led the Bulls in scoring by a wide margin. The fight for the eighth seed seems like a futile cause with the Celtics looming as the eventual opponent, but few teams could have beaten the Bulls on Wednesday night, galvanized by White's stellar evening. His stat line is a reminder that White should be considered as a favorite to win Most Improved Player honors.

Bulls' Coby White: Injures ankle, won't return
Rotowire
White won't return to Friday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle injury, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. He finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes before exiting with 6:06 remaining in the second quarter.
The severity of White's ankle injury isn't known, so his status will be worth tracking heading into Sunday's game at Orlando. If White isn't able to shake off the injury in time for Sunday, Ayo Dosunmu would likely see more time on the ball and see a notable spike in his fantasy value.
