Miller poured in 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 125-104 preseason win over Milwaukee.
Miller provided a major boost off the bench for Chicago, trailing only Matas Buzelis (19) in scoring and matching Jalen Smith for the team lead with seven rebounds. Miller has scored efficiently in double figures in all four preseason games, making a compelling case for a meaningful role during the regular season.

Bulls' Norman Powell: Active at charity stripe Wednesday
Rotowire
Powell totaled 16 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 125-104 preseason win over Milwaukee.
After not seeing the court in Sunday's contest, Powell returned to the starting lineup Wednesday and did much of his damage at the charity stripe. The shooting guard has scored in double figures in all three of his preseason appearances. After averaging 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 58 regular-season appearances with Miami last season, Powell should have ample scoring opportunities as a veteran presence on a young Chicago team during the 2026-27 campaign.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Paces Chicago in preseason win
Rotowire
Buzelis totaled 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 125-104 preseason win over Milwaukee.
Buzelis was on fire from beyond the arc, knocking down a game-high five three-pointers en route to a team-high 19 points in a winning effort. The young forward has also made his presence felt defensively, recording at least one block in all four preseason appearances. Buzelis averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks across 77 regular-season contests last season and will look to take another leap in his third NBA campaign.

Bulls' Jaylin Sellers: Scores in double figures Wednesday
Rotowire
Sellers (back) registered 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 125-104 preseason win over Milwaukee.
After missing the first three preseason games due to lower-back soreness, Sellers returned to action and was productive in a winning effort. The rookie was one of six Chicago players to score in double figures. Signed to a two-way deal, Sellers may struggle to earn consistent playing time at the NBA level and could ultimately see most of his action with the G League's Windy City Bulls.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Dishes out five assists
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) went scoreless (0-3 FG) but recorded five assists, one rebound and one steal in 10 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to Denver.
Jones made his first preseason appearance after dealing with an ankle injury, providing solid playmaking despite struggling with his shot. He also avoided committing a turnover, an encouraging sign as he works his way back into game shape. His return gives Chicago another backcourt option heading into the regular season as the projected second-string point guard.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Dishes eight dimes against Denver
Rotowire
Giddey scored seven points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding eight assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets.
The 24-year-old guard didn't make his usual impact with his shot or on the glass, but Giddey did lead the Bulls in assists on the night. Through three exhibition contests, he's averaging 9.0 points, 6.0 dimes, 3.0 boards, 1.0 threes and 1.0 blocks in 23.3 minutes, but his track record suggests he'll again be a regular triple-double threat once his workload increases and the games begin to count -- his 13 triple-doubles in 2025-26 tied the Hawks' Jalen Johnson for second in the league, behind only Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic's 34.

Bulls' Buddy Hield: Makes impact from long range
Rotowire
Hield produced 15 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 19 minutes off the bench during Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets.
The veteran wing was picked up from the Hornets at the end of September to provide some experience, and a moveable contract, to the Bulls' second unit, but while he's with Chicago, Hield's long-range shooting will help spread the floor for young building blocks like Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson. Hield's coming off a disappointing 2025-26 campaign split between Atlanta and Golden State, but prior to last season he hadn't shot below 36.6 percent from three-point range or averaged fewer than 2.2 treys in any of the prior eight seasons.
Wilson played 25 minutes in Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets, scoring 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT) and adding five assists, four rebounds and a block.
The rookie led Chicago's starting five in minutes and points, although he also committed a game-high five turnovers. Through three exhibition contests, Wilson is averaging 28.7 minutes, 17.7 points, 3.7 boards, 2.3 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 47.6 percent from the floor and 31.6 percent from beyond the arc, as he prepares for a significant role in the rotation to begin his NBA career.

Miller logged 26 points (11-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Miller put together an impressive performance off the bench Sunday, connecting on four three-pointers en route to a game-high 26 points. The 22-year-old pro has played well throughout the preseason, averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.7 minutes per contest across three appearances. Miller began to come on at the end of the 2025-26 season, scoring in double figures in 17 of the team's last 18 games.
