Simons (wrist) will not play in Chicago's final two games of the regular season, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Simons' season will officially come to an end as he continues to recover from a fractured left wrist that has kept him sidelined since Feb. 21. Head coach Billy Donovan confirmed Friday that Simons, Josh Giddey (hamstring), Guerschon Yabusele (shoulder/elbow), Nick Richards (elbow) and Jalen Smith (calf) will be held out for the Bulls' final two matchups against the Magic and Mavericks. With Simons officially shut down, Collin Sexton (finger) and Rob Dillingham will continue to handle increased workloads in the backcourt to close out the campaign.

Rotowire
Simons (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Simons has been out of action since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left wrist. The fact that he's been given the questionable tag for Monday's game indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, but whether he'll be cleared to return is unlikely to be known until closer to the 8:00 p.m. ET tip-off. Simons would likely operate under a minutes restriction if cleared to play, which would mean less playing time for Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham.

Bulls' Anfernee Simons: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Simons is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Simons will head to the bench since the Bulls will be tweaking their first unit, and Guerschon Yabusele will move to the first unit as a result of this change. Simons is averaging 17.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in his first five games with Chicago since being traded from Boston before the deadline. This will be the first time he comes off the bench as a Bulls player.
Simons provided 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 31 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors.
Simons recorded a team-high 20 points, tallying at least 20 points for the third time in five games since arriving in Chicago. While he has been able to get back to doing what he does best, his peripheral production remains largely underwhelming. Jaden Ivey was seemingly a healthy DNP-CD Thursday, a fate that could certainly befall Simons at some point in the near future. He is worth rostering in most leagues, although managers should be prepared for some unpredictable shifts in playing time.
