Chicago Bulls rookie Coby White is a game-time decision to play Wednesday night at home against the Detroit Pistons, head coach Jim Boylen said prior to the matchup.
Boylen said during his pre-game media availability that White sprained his ankle during pre-game warmups and was getting looked at by the medical staff.
White has appeared in all 14 games so far this season with the Bulls and is averaging 13.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He is shooting 35.8% from the field, including 31.5% from 3-point range.

White recently became the first rookie in NBA history to hit at least six 3-pointers in consecutive games but followed that up with a seven-point effort on Saturday. White will need to work on gaining consistency this season off of the bench but he has proven to have his moments in a small sample size.
If White is unable to play, minutes could open up for Ryan Arcidiacono or Kris Dunn off of the bench.
