Miller finished Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers with 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
Miller logged at least 30 minutes for the third straight game, continuing to put himself firmly on the standard league radar. Miller has averaged 15.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making him a top 80 player during that span. While there are no guarantees when it comes to playing time in Chicago, Miller is certainly worth taking a short-term flier on, just in case he earns himself a permanent role.

Rotowire
Miller chipped in 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 142-130 loss to the Lakers.
With so many injuries in Chicago, Miller is making the most of his newfound minutes and is worth a long look in most fantasy formats. In 23.7 minutes per contest over his last six games, he's averaging 10.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 54.2 percent shooting from the field.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Entering starting five
Rotowire
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).

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Probable Saturday
Rotowire
Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Miller was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday and is likely to suit up for the parent club. He appeared in Windy City's 141-135 loss to Raptors 905 on Friday, during which he tallied 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 30 minutes. Even if he's cleared to play for Chicago on Saturday, he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Not spotted on injury report
Rotowire
Miller (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
Leonard looks to be in the clear for his Bulls debut Saturday. Given the unstable role he occupied during his time in Minnesota, it's not guaranteed the 2023 second-rounder hits the court in a notable manner against the Nuggets.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Traded to Chicago
Rotowire
The Timberwolves traded Miller, Rob Dillingham and four second-round picks to the Bulls in exchange for Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) and Julian Phillips (wrist) on Thursday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
A second-round pick back in 2023, Miller never found his footing in Minnesota with just 49 career regular-season appearances. He could get a real opportunity in Chicago down the stretch with the team pivoting toward a rebuild, but at least in the short term, he's just someone to monitor in deeper formats. He should be considered questionable to debut Saturday versus Denver.

Rotowire
Miller is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to lower-back spasms.

Rotowire
Miller finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one rebound across 23 minutes in Monday's 134-74 exhibition win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
Miller was one of seven Timberwolves players to reach double figures Monday, joining Joan Beringer in posting a double-double in the frontcourt. The 21-year-old appears to have moved past the right finger laceration that hampered him during training camp as he works to secure a rotation spot off Minnesota's bench heading into the regular season.

Timberwolves' Leonard Miller: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Miller (finger) will be available for Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
Miller suffered a right fifth finger laceration at the end of September and was expected to miss at least two weeks before being evaluated again. However, he appears to have healed quickly and will get a taste of live action during Monday's exhibition. Leonard has appeared in only 30 regular-season NBA games since being drafted in 2023, but he's been stellar at the G League level.
