Bulls' Jalen Smith: Retreating to bench Monday
Smith is not in Chicago's starting lineup against Toronto on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Smith made his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday against the Hornets due to Nikola Vucevic being sidelined with an illness. Smith made the most of his spot start by playing a season-high 29 minutes and finishing with 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and five blocks, but he'll return to the bench for Monday's contest due to Vucevic no longer dealing with his illness.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Double-doubles in spot start
Smith notched 11 points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-95 win over the Hornets.
Smith got his first start of the season after Nikola Vucevic was ruled out due to an illness, notching his first double-double of the campaign. He added a season-high five blocks for good measure, reminding everyone just what he can do when afforded starter-level minutes. Although he could shift back to a bench role as soon as the next game, Smith is someone who could move into a larger role at some point should the Bulls opt to move Vucevic prior to the trade deadline.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Starting Friday
Smith will get the start at center in Friday's matchup with the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Underwhelming role continues
Smith finished Friday's 132-123 loss to the Pacers with 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 18 minutes.
Smith continues to play limited minutes behind Nikola Vucevic, having logged fewer than 19 minutes in all of his 21 appearances thus far. He is currently averaging 7.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 14.5 minutes per game, and his opportunities have been hampered by the fact that Nikola Vucevic has started the season on fire. Should the Bulls at any point decide to throw in the towel, there is a chance Smith could step into a more sizeable role. Until then, he will continue to soak up the majority of the backup center minutes.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Will play Friday
Smith (ankle) is active for Friday's game against the Celtics, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Smith participated in Friday's shootaround, and he should see a steady dose of minutes off the bench as the primary backup to Nikola Vucevic at center. Smith is averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in 13 contests since the beginning of November.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Participates in shootaround
Smith (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, participated in the club's morning shootaround, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Smith was sidelined during Wednesday's loss to the Magic, though his participation in shootaround bodes well for a potential return to game action. If the big man is unable to suit up again due to the left ankle sprain, the club could take an extended look at Adama Sanogo and E.J. Liddell off the bench.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Will not play Wednesday
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt against the Magic.
Wednesday will mark Smith's third absence of the season and first since Nov. 11. He's been playing backup center minutes, but the Bulls don't have any other true fives to give extended run to beyond starter Nikola Vucevic. Head coach Billy Donovan may have to run more small-ball lineups when Vucevic is off the floor Wednesday.

If he's unable to play Wednesday, the Bulls are likely to utilize some smaller lineups.

Smith logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards.
