This doesn’t immediately eliminate LaVine’s chances to play in Game 5, but he’ll need to test negative during follow-up testing in order to be able to play in Chicago’s elimination game.
Through four games during this first round series, LaVine is averaging 19.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 37.5% from 3-point range.
Stay tuned to Lonzo Wire for updates on LaVine’s status for Game 5.
