Doug McDermott cleared for contact; could return at end of next week
Reinforcements are on the way for the Bulls bench as Doug McDermott could be back late next week, passing the next step in the concussion protocol before Friday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and being cleared for contact practices. McDermott missed his eighth straight game Friday after suffering a concussion from a fall against the Wizards on Nov. 12. It’s his second concussion of the season and it was clear the Bulls and team doctors were being careful with the third-year forward.
