Chicago Bulls guard Coby White threw down an emphatic dunk on the San Antonio Spurs' 7-foot-3 phenom Victor Wembanyama on Monday night.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is now questionable for their matchup vs the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon.
Victor Wembanyama has nearly a foot on Coby White, but it didn't matter in the late stages of the game on Monday night. The Bulls had a huge possession late as they were up by one point, and White was able to make a three-point game with a monster dunk over Wembanyama.
Coby White made a go-ahead layup with 47 seconds left, and the Chicago Bulls topped Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 114-110.
The Bulls outscored the Spurs, 32-15 in the game's final quarter as Chicago rallied from a 79-60 second half deficit. After the Bulls trailed, 97-82 to start the fourth quarter, White gave Chicago its first lead of the game by beating Wembanyama with 47.1 seconds remaining.
White has been dealing with a neck strain over the last few days, but the injury won't sideline him Wednesday. The 24-year-old played 34 minutes Tuesday during the first leg of Chicago's back-to-back set and should see another full workload Wednesday.
