It’s not often that a trade goes through before the NBA trade deadline and then gets altered afterward.<\/p>\n

That’s what happened with the Chicago Bulls<\/a>, Charlotte Hornets<\/a> and Coby White.<\/p>\n

The Bulls agreed to a deal to send White to the Hornets, but then after the trade, White had to undergo a physical.<\/p>\n

By the time White was in Charlotte for the medical assessment, the deadline had long since passed.<\/p>\n

Charlotte found that White has a left calf injury that will force him to miss time, according to The Athletic’s Fred Katz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Because of that, the trade terms were slightly amended.<\/p>\n

The Bulls were originally supposed to get three second-round picks in the trade.<\/p>\n

Now, they will get just two: the Knicks<\/a>‘ 2031 second-rounder, and the Nuggets<\/a>‘ 2031 second-rounder.<\/p>\n

White will heal up and then hopefully take the court for Charlotte at some point.<\/p>\n

The Hornets took a chance that White can help their late playoff push that’s ongoing. Charlotte is one of the hottest teams in the league.<\/p>\n

White is a free agent after the season, but that’s not of concern to the Hornets at the moment. They just want to chase down, ironically, the Bulls.<\/p>\n

If they do that thanks in part to White, the deal would’ve been worth it, but they’ve now baked in a little cushion by reducing the trade cost in case this White injury sticks around in any way.<\/p>\n
