The Chicago Bulls are battling to get in play-in position in the Eastern Conference, and every win is important at this point in the season as Billy Donovan and company look to build some momentum heading into the All-Star break.

With Zach LaVine away from the team, it was going to be an uphill battle, but the Bulls didn't help their cause by allowing 27 points off 15 turnovers. And with the trade deadline a week away, the rumors aren't going away.

In a bit of a surprise, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has revealed that guard Coby White is slated to return from an injury absence Wednesday against the Celtics, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network ( Twitter link ). White has been on the shelf with a right ankle bone bruise since January 19.

The Chicago Bulls traveled to TD Garden to face the defending champs, the Boston Celtics, on Wednesday night. Although the Bulls beat the former champs, the Denver Nuggets, on Monday night, their luck ran out on Wednesday as they lost to the Celtics 122-100.

Coby White led the Bulls with 16 points in 31 minutes in his first game after missing four straight with an ankle injury.

Pending how all things health-wise end up playing out, the Bulls are still good enough to steal a win if the Celtics play with their food.
