Source: Johnson positive, Bulls’ 10th in protocolon December 13, 2021 at 3:46 pm

Chicago Bulls forward Alize Johnson has tested positive for COVID-19 and has entered the league protocols, a source told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Johnson becomes the 10th Chicago player to enter the protocols, potentially jeopardizing the status of the Bulls’ game Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons.

The Bulls had eight active players as of Monday morning, which is the NBA’s minimum requirement to play a game.

Johnson joins Zach LaVine, Troy Brown Jr., DeMar DeRozan, Coby White, Javonte Green, Matt Thomas, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson as players sidelined right now.

Bulls broadcasters Stacey King and Bill Wennington are also at home in isolation due to the league’s protocols.

Players who enter health and safety protocols must quarantine for 10 days or until they return two negative PCR tests within a 24-hour window.
