Top Bulls News

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Not expected to play

    Williams (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

    Williams appears likely to miss his second straight contest Thursday. With this news, the Bulls may lean more on Leonard Miller at the forward spots.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Downgraded to questionable

    Smith (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Smith was previously listed as doubtful, so the downgrade is a concern for fantasy managers. If Smith is unable to give it a go, Nick Richards will likely have a higher floor in fantasy hoops.

  • Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Downgraded to doubtful

    Yabusele (foot) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Yabusele was previously labeled as questionable for this contest. With this news, guys like Nick Richards, Leonard Miller and Lachlan Olbrich could be more involved for the Bulls.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Questionable for Thursday

    Yabusele is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to left foot soreness.

    If Yabusele can't play Thursday, Nick Richards would have a chance to start, and there would be more minutes available for Lachlan Olbrich and Leonard Miller. Check back for another update on Yabusele closer to Thursday's tip.

  • Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Tabbed probable for Thursday

    Buzelis is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained right ankle.

    Buzelis popped up on the injury report for the opening leg of a back-to-back set due to an ankle injury. The second-year forward, who's fresh off his first 40-point game, is expected to play through the issue Thursday night.

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Questionable for Thursday

    Williams (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

    Williams missed Tuesday's win over the Warriors with the ankle issue, and with Thursday's game coming as the first in a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Williams spend at least one more game on the sidelines. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Josh Giddey: Lands probable tag

    Giddey is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Giddey is tending to a minor ankle injury, but he's slated to play through the issue. Giddey has produced a triple-double in three of his last four games, averaging 17.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 11.5 assists across 35.5 minutes during that stretch.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Probable for Thursday

    Smith (calf) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Smith is on track to play Thursday, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. Thursday's match will be the first of a back-to-back set, though, so there's a chance Smith could get hit with a maintenance day Friday.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Collin Sexton: Questionable for Thursday

    Sexton (leg) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

    Sexton missed Tuesday's win over the Warriors, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back to action Thursday. If he is able to return, there will be fewer minutes available for Rob Dillingham.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Deemed questionable

    Okoro (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Okoro missed Tuesday's game due to right knee soreness, and he's at risk of missing the opening leg of a back-to-back Thursday. Okoro is averaging 8.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Anfernee Simons: Still sidelined

    Simons (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Simons will miss a ninth consecutive contest due to a left wrist fracture. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Clippers, though it doesn't seem like a return is imminent.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Tre Jones: Goes for 22 points off bench

    Jones accumulated 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime win over the Warriors.

    Jones returned to a bench role after being a starter in his last four outings, but that didn't slow him down, and the veteran floor general continued to put up excellent numbers. This was his sixth consecutive outing with double-digit points, and he's averaging a solid line of 17.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals across 29.2 minutes per game in that stretch.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Delivers double-double Tuesday

    Smith accumulated 12 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime win over the Warriors.

    Josh Giddey's triple-double and Matas Buzelis' first 40-point performance of his career overshadowed what other Chicago players did, and that includes Smith's solid all-around stat line. The shooting woes are worrisome, but fantasy managers won't worry too much about that as long as he continues to produce. Smith has scored in double digits in all but two of his last 17 appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 12.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks per game.

  • Bulls' Leonard Miller: Best outing of career Tuesday

    Miller closed Tuesday's 130-124 overtime victory over the Warriors with 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.

    Miller made his second start of the season Tuesday and certainly took advantage of the opportunity, setting a new career-high mark in scoring and recording the first double-double of his career. Miller has proven he can put up solid numbers when given enough minutes. He's averaging 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks per game when playing more than 20 minutes, something that has happened in five of his last six appearances while the Bulls continue to manage multiple injuries.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Josh Giddey: Delivers monster stat line

    Giddey accumulated 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and 17 assists in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime victory over the Warriors.

    Giddey played a big role in Chicago's comeback win, though it was Matas Buzelis who captured the spotlight by pouring in 41 points. Giddey was plenty productive in his own right by posting his third double-double in his last four appearances and his 10th of the 2025-26 campaign. Expect the Bulls to continue to lean heavily on the likes of Giddey and Buzelis until the club shakes off some back injury luck.

  • Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Records first career 40-point game

    Buzelis finished with 41 points (16-28 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 45 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime win over Golden State.

    Buzelis delivered a career-high 41 points with the help of a strong showing from the field. However, the 2024 first-round pick's contributions didn't stop in the scoring column, as he accounted for two of Chicago's six steals on the night and swatted away a pair of shots to total five blocks over his last two appearances. Buzelis has been handed more opportunities lately due to a slew of key injuries to the rotation, and he's responded by averaging 24.0 points over his last six outings.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Tre Jones: Retreating to bench

    Jones will come off the bench Tuesday against the Warriors.

    Jones will shift back to a bench role after starting four straight matchups for the Bulls. He hasn't had nearly as much success as a reserve, averaging 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists in his last five appearances off the bench.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Leonard Miller: Entering starting five

    Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

    Miller logged only one minute off the bench Sunday against the Kings, but he'll be in line for a much larger workload Tuesday due to the Bulls missing Isaac Okoro (knee) and Collin Sexton (lower leg). Miller finished with eight points and nine rebounds in his only other start this season, which came against Phoenix last Thursday.
