Hornets, Bulls Amend Coby White Trade After Physical Flags Calf Injury

Overview

• After Charlotte’s exam found a left calf injury, the teams revised the deal to cut Chicago’s draft compensation from three seconds to two.
• The Hornets kept the 2029 second-rounder, while the Bulls will receive the Knicks’ and Nuggets’ 2031 second-round picks.
• White and Mike Conley Jr. still move to Charlotte, with Collin Sexton and Ousmane Dieng headed to Chicago.
• Hornets president Jeff Peterson said White will not play until after the All-Star break.
• The change comes as part of the Bulls’ broader deadline overhaul focused on draft capital, with coach Billy Donovan noting the reshuffled roster lacks chemistry and conditioning.
