Biberovic (heel) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Right heel bursitis continues to plague Biberovic. Monday's tilt versus the Kings marks his next chance to make his league debut.

Marshall (illness) is available for Friday's game against Houston.

Marshall initially drew a questionable tag before being upgraded to probable Friday afternoon, and he's since been cleared to play following a two-game absence. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 27.7 minutes per contest in three regular-season games (one start). With Marshall back in action, Caleb Martin and Zaccharie Risacher could see fewer minutes.

Johnson (Achilles) is available for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Johnson will shed his questionable tag due to right Achilles tightness and return from a one-game absence. The second-year guard is averaging 12.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 triples across 22.8 minutes per contest in four regular-season outings.

Clowney (illness) is available for Friday's game against Detroit, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Clowney popped up on the injury report due to an illness. However, he now has the green light to suit up for Friday's game versus the Pistons. The 22-year-old hasn't had a productive 2026-27 campaign, averaging 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds over 21.5 minutes per contest in four regular-season appearances.

Schroder (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards.

After beginning the day with a questionable designation, Schroder was upgraded to probable Friday morning and is now fully cleared to suit up. The journeyman floor general has been serviceable filling in for the injured Coby White (calf) at point guard, averaging 14.0 points, 4.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game over five appearances thus far.

Awaka (ankle) is available for Friday's game in Boston.

The rookie big man is available off the bench for the Bulls on Friday. Awaka may not see significant playing time, though.

Smith (finger) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Smith popped up on the injury report due to a left finger sprain, though it won't keep him off the floor versus Boston. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) sidelined, Smith has started in all five of the Bulls' regular-season games in 2026-27, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 23.4 minutes per outing.

Swain (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston.

Swain will be held out of Friday's contest due to lower-back soreness. His next chance to play will come Monday at Philadelphia.

Brown (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Brown is sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back set, and he figures to be facing a short-term absence. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade should see more playing time, while Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James are all in line to handle more usage.

Harris (calf) is listed as out for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Harris suffered a strained left calf ahead of the 2026-27 campaign and has yet to make his debut with the Spurs. The veteran is slowly making progress toward a return, though he should be considered week-to-week until more information is released. The 34-year-old, who signed with San Antonio during the offseason, averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 27.7 minutes per contest in 63 regular-season appearances with the Pistons in 2025-26.
