What Happened
Coby White is set to make his debut for the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night against his former team, the Chicago Bulls. The Hornets announced that White, who was acquired in a trade with Chicago on February 4, has been upgraded to available after recovering from a left calf strain. He is expected to come off the bench as the backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball, who recently scored 37 points in a victory over the Washington Wizards.

In contrast, the Bulls are struggling, having lost nine consecutive games, including a recent defeat to the New York Knicks. The performance of both teams in this game could have implications for their playoff aspirations.
