Miles McBride PG | NY
Knicks' Miles McBride: Available to play
McBride (pelvis) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.
McBride was given a maintenance day Wednesday against Memphis, but he has the green light to reprise his role as the backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Absent from injury report
Porzingis (illness) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
The star big man is ready to play after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. Porzingis is heating up as of late, averaging 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per game over his last four outings.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Good to go for Friday
Robinson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
After missing the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday against Memphis, Robinson is all set to reprise his role as the backup center against Chicago.
-
Jalen Brunson PG | NY
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Available for Friday
Brunson (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Brunson is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Presumably, Wednesday was more of a maintenance day for the star guard.

Karlo Matkovic PF | NO
Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Ruled out Thursday
Matkovic (back) is out for Thursday's game against Portland.
The 2022 second-rounder is sitting out Thursday due to lower-back spasms, and a short turnaround awaits him Friday in Sacramento versus the Kings. Matkovic's absence could get DeAndre Jordan back into the center rotation, also opening up more playing time for Yves Missi and Derik Queen.

Lachlan Olbrich C | CHI
Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Probable for Friday
Olbrich (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Olbrich is expected to play through bilateral plantar fasciitis Friday. If Nick Richards (elbow) can't play, Olbrich could see a larger role in the frontcourt against New York.
-
Nick Richards C | CHI
Bulls' Nick Richards: Listed as questionable
Richards (elbow) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
After four straight absences for the big man, he remains day-to-day on the injury report. If Richards continues to miss time, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) will likely continue to benefit.
-
Mac McClung PG | CHI
Bulls' Mac McClung: Probable for Friday
McClung (abdomen) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
McClung is likely to play through right abdominal tightness Friday. The explosive guard could see an expanded role if one or both of Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (ankle) sit out versus New York.
-
Tre Jones PG | CHI
Bulls' Tre Jones: Iffy for Friday
Jones is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks with a right ankle sprain.
Jones will join Josh Giddey (hamstring) on the official injury report. If either starter is unable to play, that could open up a lot of minutes for guys like Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton.
