Is There A Benefit To The Bulls Returning This Season?

CHICAGO (CBS) — Bulls players may begin voluntary workouts on Friday.

Right now, most of the players are not in town, and the Bulls have been sitting out of a traditional playoff spot. So unless the NBA returns by resuming the regular season after shutting down when a Utah Jazz player tested positive for coronavirus back in March, new team President Arturas Karnisovas may have to wait to see his guys play in person.

CBS 2’s Luke Stuckmeyer caught up with NBA senior writer Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. Stuckmeyer asked if there was a benefit to the Bulls coming back and playing games this season.

“Unless you’re Jim Boylen trying to audition to keep your job, I’m not sure if there’s any added benefit from a health standpoint; from a performance standpoint, you kind of know what you have. Like, OK, we want to see a few more games with Lauri Markkanen – don’t we have a big enough sample size of how he performed; how much more room he has left to grow?” Goodwill said. “I don’t think there’s a legitimate chance of the Bulls being one of those teams that we invited – like you’re most often hearing these 20 teams. It would be the 16 playoff teams and kind of like three or four teams around the fringes – and possibly being some type of pool play, almost like the Olympics.”

Does Coach Boylen still have shot at a job at the end of the season? Goodwill doesn’t think so.

“There’s always a chance. I don’t think it’s a good chance. I don’t think it’s a great chance. I think it’s slim – maybe even slim being optimistic,” he said. “I do believe that Michael Reinsdorf – Bulls president and son Jerry Reinsdorf – wants to keep Boylen, but you’re not going to cut your new guys’ legs off from under them on their first big decision. He has to give the new guys their autonomy and freedom to decide on who their next coach is going to be.”

The Bulls are 11th out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference standings.

A coalition of online retailers backed by Amazon plans to start on Wednesday a seven-figure advertising blitz opposing President Trump’s demand that the beleaguered United States Postal Service ratchet up its package delivery rates to avoid bankruptcy during the coronavirus crisis, its top lobbyist said. The ads will begin running nationally Wednesday night on “Hannity,” one of Mr. Trump’s favorite programs on Fox News, and on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show on Thursday.

The vaccine, identified as Ad5-nCoV, was jointly developed by a team at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, led by Major General Chen Wei, and Tianjin-based company CanSino Biologics . It is the first time that a vaccine candidate for Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has been authorised for use for the military of any nation. CanSino said on Monday that the candidate had been through two phases of clinical trials, which indicated it was safe and there was “relatively high” immune response to the antigen. The candidate is yet to start
