The Chicago Bulls welcomed Zach LaVine back to the United Center with open arms on Wednesday night.
Returning to Chicago for the first time since he was traded away in February, the guard was met with plenty of cheers when his name was called during the Kings’ starting lineup introductions. The same went for DeMar DeRozan, who spent three years with the franchise before departing for Sacramento in the summer of 2024.
The Daily Herald’s Mike McGraw shared some footage of the moment …

The tribute video includes plenty of his highlight jams, his amazing game-winner and 13 triples against the Charlotte Hornets in 2019, his stunning 39 points in the first half against the Hawks in 2021, his franchise record-breaking three-pointer last season, and so much more.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) October 30, 2025You can really see how much he grew in a Bulls uniform, and it’s no wonder why he continues to feel such a deep connection to the city and the organization. In a conversation with K.C. Johnson before this evening’s game, LaVine didn’t hesitate to share his appreciation for the time spent in Chicago.
“Business may happen, but this is always going to be home. I grew up here. My family grew up here. I have too many memories, known too many people, this is always going to be home for me. No bad emotions. Just happy to come back and walk some familiar places,” Zach LaVine said.
I encourage you to give his full conversation with CHSN a listen.
