Sanogo won't play Wednesday against the Bucks due to a right knee effusion.
The same injury kept the two-way player from suiting up for the G League's Windy City Bulls in Tuesday's loss to the Cleveland Charge, and though he's back with the NBA team, Sanogo will remain out Wednesday. The Bulls have both Nikola Vucevic and Jalen Smith on hand to cover all the center minutes, so Sanogo won't be part of the NBA rotation once he moves past the knee issue.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Sanogo (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Sanogo had been listed as questionable for the contest due to a right knee effusion, but he was given the green light to play shortly before the opening tip. The second-year big man played four minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers, but he likely won't be part of the rotation Wednesday with Jalen Smith (illness) back in action and expected to reprise his usual role as Nikola Vucevic's top backup.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Explodes for double-double Monday
Rotowire
Sanogo contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Sanogo posted a team-high 16 points and a game-high 15 rebounds while leading the Bulls in playing time. The 22-year-old got the start Monday due to both Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Jalen Smith (knee) being sidelined. Sanogo is signed to a two-way pact with the Bulls and will likely spend the majority of his time with their G League affiliate -- the Windy City Bulls. However, if injury concerns arise for the club in the frontcourt, the second-year big man could step into a larger role off the bench.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Inks two-way deal with Chicago
Rotowire
Sanogo agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Bulls on Wednesday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
After going unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft, Sanogo spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way deal with the Bulls and appeared in only nine regular-season NBA games. The 23-year-old will remain on a two-way pact for 2024-25 and will likely spend most of his time in the G League when the Bulls' frontcourt is at full health.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Logs five minutes in loss
Rotowire
Sanogo finished with one rebound over five minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to New York.
Sanogo played a few extra minutes in the loss, shifting up in the rotation following an ankle injury to Andre Drummond after just five minutes. Although he is not likely to be fantasy-relevant at all, Sanogo could at least be a regular part of the rotation, should Drummond be forced to miss any time moving forward.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Plays well in limited action
Rotowire
Sanogo provided eight points (3-3 FG, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over nine minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 loss to the 76ers.
Nikola Vucevic (groin) and Torrey Craig (heel) remain out, and Patrick Williams (ankle) left the contest early, allowing Sanogo, Terry Taylor, Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips to see increased roles in the second half of a blowout loss. Making just his second NBA appearance, Sanogo flirted with a double-double in just nine minutes of action, but the rookie doesn't have fantasy value in his current role.

Rotowire
Sanogo recorded 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 Summer League win over the Kings.
Sanogo missed out on a double-double by one rebound in Tuesday's win. While his defensive impact was impressive, he has also struggled from the free-throw line so far in Summer League. Sanogo is set to split time between the NBA and G League this season as a two-way player.
