Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is expected to miss the next two games with an ankle injury, and with Jabari Parker likely out of the rotation as trade rumors circulate, former Arizona Wildcat Rawle Alkins will reportedly get called up from the G League, per Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.ย 

The undrafted Alkins signed a two-way contract with the Bulls after getting released by the Toronto Raptors following NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Alkins had been playing for Chicago's G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.ย 

Alkins has averaged 15.5 points, six rebounds and 3.1 assists through 18 games in the G League.ย

Now, he gets the chance to be teammates with Lauri Markkanen again, who is averaging 13.8 points per game since returning in November from his elbow injury that kept him out for two months.

Alkins isn't expected to suit up Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs, but could make his NBA debut Monday night on the road versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.ย 

Alkins was one of two former Arizona Wildcats to go undrafted in last June's NBA Draft along with Allonzo Trier, who just signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the New York Knicks.

Below are the best photos of Trier's rookie season in the Big Apple:
