After spending 12 years with one Chicago sports team, Jeff Tanaka is adjusting to working with another.
Let go by the Bulls in May 2020 after the team hired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley to revamp the franchise, Tanaka became the Fire’s head athletic trainer last fall. When the Bulls moved on from him, the Sun-Times reported that Tanaka wasn’t being ‘‘scapegoated’’ for injuries but that the new brass wanted to bring in someone it chose.
‘‘It was disappointing, obviously,’’ Tanaka told the Sun-Times this week. ‘‘I had been there for 12 years, but you understand that that’s part of the business sometimes. New people come in and have the right to make decisions from a personnel standpoint.’’
