The Chicago Bulls have been one of the surprise teams of the first two weeks of the NBA season. Chicago has gotten off to a 6-1 start. Even more surprising is that Bulls have done so without Coby White. And now, White is nearing a return.

White suffered a calf injury during the leadup to the season. He then suffered a setback with the calf ahead of the season. But White is ramping up and could return in mid-November.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan and White have both talked about him doing more in practice, with eyes on a three-day stretch of practices next week. The team seems to be aiming for a return for White when the Bulls begin a three-game road trip on November 16.
