🔥 BREAKING: Coby White’s heartbreaking confession — “I feel useless… I can’t help my team.”
CHICAGO — It wasn’t supposed to end like this. Under the flashing lights of the United Center, Coby White, one of the Chicago Bulls’ brightest hopes, now sits on the sidelines — watching, waiting, hurting. The pain isn’t just physical. It’s something deeper, sharper, more personal.
“I feel useless,” White admitted quietly after Thursday’s team practice. “I want to fight with my teammates, I want to be out there, but right now… I can’t. It’s impossible.”
Those words hit harder than any buzzer-beater. For a player who clawed his way into the Bulls’ core last season — emerging as a leader, a scorer, a steadying presence — this injury feels like a cruel twist. Just when the Bulls needed his energy the most, White’s body betrayed him.
Sources close to the team say White has been battling not just frustration, but guilt — guilt for sitting out while his teammates grind through a tough early-season schedule. Inside the locker room, he’s still present, still encouraging, but his eyes tell another story: the pain of watching, not playing.
“He’s our guy,” said one teammate after Wednesday’s loss. “He’s got that fire. To see him like this — it hurts all of us.”
The Bulls have struggled to find rhythm early in the season, their offense stuttering, their chemistry tested. And while Chicago has weathered injuries before, this one feels different. Coby White wasn’t just another player — he was momentum, belief, the pulse of a team trying to prove it still matters in an Eastern Conference that’s moving fast.
Now, as the Bulls scramble to adapt, the weight on Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan grows heavier. The franchise’s young core is forced to carry not only the physical burden, but the emotional one — the absence of a teammate who bleeds for the jersey.
In moments like this, fans forget that athletes — even the most composed — are human first. White’s confession wasn’t a press quote; it was a crack in the armor. The raw honesty of a 24-year-old who feels he’s letting his city down.
“I want to come back,” he said, his voice breaking slightly. “But right now… it’s not possible. I just have to live with that.”
Doctors haven’t provided an official timeline, but insiders suggest his recovery could take weeks — maybe months — depending on how his body responds. That uncertainty eats at him. Every day of rehab feels longer than the last.
Chicago, meanwhile, waits. The fans, the city, the franchise — all hoping for one thing: that the Coby White who returns isn’t just healed, but hungrier than ever.
Because if there’s one thing that defines him, it’s fight. He’s been underestimated, overlooked, doubted — and he’s turned all of that into fuel. This time, though, the battle isn’t on the court. It’s in his own mind.
And when he finally steps back onto the hardwood, when he hears the roar of the crowd again, maybe this pain — this helplessness — will become part of the legend.
For now, Coby White waits in silence. The Bulls move on without him. But deep down, everyone in Chicago knows — they’re not the same without number zero.
