"It'll (the treatment) get me through the end of the season, and then in the offseason I'll be able to take care of it and get myself to 100 percent"
Despite participating in Saturday night's 3-point competition in Cleveland, Zach LaVine continues to deal with a left knee issue. The Bulls' second-leading scorer, putting up nearly 25 points per game, will also take part in Sunday's All-Star game. LaVine got the nod for the second time in his career after ranking 12th in the league in scoring at the break.
The former 13th overall pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2014 missed Chicago's final three games and five of its past eight heading into All-Star weekend. LaVine traveled to Los Angeles last week to receive a PRP injection and a cortisone shot to his left knee, which has no structural damage.
LaVine's Team Durant squad are +6-point underdogs to Team LeBron on Sunday night, sitting at +198 on the moneyline. Head over to FanDuel Sportsbook for all your NBA All-Star game wagering needs.
