Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Heat, pausing a strong stretch in which he averaged 26.0 points and 7.5 assists over his last two appearances.

Grayson Allen Sidelined Again on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (quad) will officially miss a third consecutive game with a right quad contusion.
