LaVine was named an All-Star for the second successive season as he averaged 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 67 games in 2021-22. He also shot 47.6 percent from the floor and 38.9 percent from 3-point range while playing in the final season of a four-year, $78 million deal.
He achieved those stats despite being bothered by a left knee injury that ultimately required surgery following the season.
LaVine averaged 13.7 points during his three seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves (2014-17). He has averaged 24.4 points in five campaigns with the Bulls since being acquired by Chicago in a 2017 trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota.
