On July 31, professional basketball returns to the spotlight as <\/span>the NBA plans on resuming the 2019-2020 season<\/span><\/a>. When the league first made their announcement, they decided on only allowing the top 22 teams in the standings to return to play. Unfortunately, this meant that our favorite hometown team, <\/span>the Bulls<\/span><\/a>, was done for the year. Up until recently, we had no timeline on when the Chicago Bulls would return to play, but all that has changed in the past week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent talks around the league have hinted towards a second \u2018bubble\u2019 for the eight teams not headed to Orlando. A <\/span>recent report by ESPN\u2019s Jackie MacMullan<\/span><\/a> indicates that these discussions are pretty serious, which is great news for Bulls fans. There\u2019s a strong chance we\u2019ll see Chicago Bulls basketball return a lot earlier than we thought!<\/span><\/p>\n
