Preseason Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs, The Rematch

Good evening CtB!

The Chicago Bulls come to the shores of Lake Erie for a preseason rematch against the Cavs. Chris Fedor of cleveland.com reporting that Sexland will not be available tonight:

#Cavs Darius Garland and Collin Sexton to miss tonight's preseason game, moving Ricky Rubio and Lauri Markkanen into the starting lineup with Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen vs. Chicago, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. https://t.co/bJWCqoTlQA

Fedor hints at the notion that the coaching staff wants to get Isaac Okoro going by starting him at the shooting guard position, and it will also be their second look at Lauri Markkanen at the small forward slot. Sexland’s absence will also mean a look at the scramble for the end of the bench and two way roster spots. Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET, and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio. Go Cavs!!!
