The Bulls are checking off every tourist’s list of milestones throughout their first three days in Paris. But by Wednesday, the team’s focus shifted back to basketball.
“These kids don’t have a chance to see us as much in person, so it’s great for them and great for us,” center Nikola Vučević said. “It means a lot to them and we try to give back as much as we can, spend the time when we can.”But by Wednesday, the team’s focus shifted back to basketball. With a 20-24 record, the Bulls will have plenty on the line when they face the Detroit Pistons on Thursday.
In the midst a competitive Eastern Conference full of jockeying for the last spot above the playoff line, every game counts for the Bulls — even if it’s taking place half a world away.The Pistons almost went down a man in Paris after 19-year-old center Jalen Duren misplaced his passport before the team took off from Detroit.
Duren was not with the Pistons when they arrived Monday as he wasn’t allowed onto the team’s charter flight. The Athletic reported the Pistons were working to get Duren on a new flight on Tuesday. The center finally arrived and rejoined the team Wednesday, just in time for Thursday’s game.
