James returns to action but will not be in the starting lineup against Chicago, but it will come from the bank. The initials will be Dennis Schröder, Austin Reaves, Troy Brown, Jarred Vanderbilt y Anthony Davis. The Bulls date Patrick Beverley, Alex Caruso, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic. It’s just about him second match as a substitute in the NBA career Rey.
