Bulls’ Zach LaVine undergoes arthroscopic surgery on left knee after battling through injury during season

Chicago Bulls star guard Zach LaVine underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery Tuesday, the Bulls announced. LaVine missed time this season due to a left knee injury, but fought through it to play for the Bulls in this postseason. He missed Chicago’s season-ending loss to the Milwaukee Bucks because of the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

LaVine is coming off his second consecutive All-Star season, but perhaps more importantly, he is due to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time this offseason. LaVine has made no secret of his excitement for the free agency process, and has spoken openly about how he feels he was underpaid on his last deal. For most players, a major knee surgery would hamper free agency plans, but LaVine will be so coveted that he should still easily command a max salary if he wants one.
