The struggling Chicago Bulls are at risk of going the entire month of February without a single victory, which would mark the first time in franchise history the team has gone an entire calendar month without a win. The Bulls have lost 10 straight games since January 31 and 13 of their last 14 overall, falling out of playoff position in the Eastern Conference.

Why it matters

The Bulls' prolonged losing streak is a major setback for a team that had playoff aspirations at the start of the season. Failing to win a single game in February would be an embarrassing milestone for the storied franchise and further erode fan confidence in the team's direction.

The details

The Bulls' last win came on January 31 against the Miami Heat. Since then, the team has traded away key players like Coby White and Nikola Vucevic as part of a rebuild. If the Bulls lose to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, it would mark the first time in franchise history the team has gone an entire calendar month without a victory. The Bulls' longest losing streak ever is 16 games, a record they are inching closer to.

• The Bulls' last win was on January 31 against the Miami Heat.
• The Bulls will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, February 26.

What’s next

If the Bulls lose to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, they will have gone the entire month of February without a win, a first in franchise history. The team will then face the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday before embarking on a five-game West Coast road trip.
