Prior to the Bulls' matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night, Benny teased a possible number change multiple times on social media in honor of Rose. He held a mock news conference where he was asked to address it. Benny made no comment, instead showing off a sign that read: "I've got 99 problems but my number ain't 1." Benny even organized a focus group to choose a number as he then hung up the No. 1 jersey in a closet prior to tipoff.
Paul filed for an injunction and temporary restraining order regarding authenticity concerns over a Michael Jordan-signed piece of United Center court he'd won at auction. The move comes as the initially granted and extended temporary restraining order expired. Paul initially won the signed floor piece at auction for $562,555.42, the payment of which was due Sept. 25. Paul wanted to investigate the floor's authenticity before paying and says he was not allowed to, according to court records and Paul's counsel.
