Chicago Bulls News and Rumors - NBA

Rob Dillingham - Muted role continues Dillingham posted two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over eight minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Dillingham played no more than 10 minutes for the second straight game, with Chicago continuing to tinker with its backcourt rotation. In five games since arriving in Chicago, Dillingham has averaged just 7.8 points and 1.4 steals per game, leaving him well off the fantasy radar.

Jalen Smith - Serviceable again in loss Smith posted 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.

Impact Smith was productive again despite the loss, although his playing time remains a little underwhelming. He continues to deal with an ongoing calf issue, limiting him to just four appearances in the past nine games. While the production was certainly more than adequate, perhaps the biggest news to come out of Chicago was the fact that Zach Collins is going to miss the remainder of the season due to toe surgery. For those rostering Smith, this should eliminate any concerns there were regarding his starting role.

Matas Buzelis - Career-high six blocks Buzelis amassed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, six blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.

Impact Despite yet another loss, Buzelis turned in a strong two-way performance, including a career-high six blocks. After a somewhat frustrating start to the season, the sophomore has now played at least 30 minutes in 10 of the past 14 games, seemingly earning the trust of head coach Billy Donovan. During that time, Buzelis has averaged 14.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers, good enough for top 90 value.

Anfernee Simons - Won't return Saturday Simons won't return to Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left wrist injury.

Impact Simons came off the bench for the first time since joining Chicago, and he won't be able to finish the game as a result of the injury. This left wrist problem also puts his status for Sunday's game against the Magic in jeopardy. Simons finished Saturday's contest with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 13 minutes.

Guerschon Yabusele - Starting Saturday Yabusele will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact The big man will get the starting nod in place of Anfernee Simons on Saturday. As a starter for the Bulls (three outings), Yabusele has averaged 9.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per tilt.

Anfernee Simons - Not starting Saturday Simons is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Simons will head to the bench since the Bulls will be tweaking their first, and Guershon 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.

Guerschon Yabusele - Will play Saturday Yabusele (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact As expected, Yabusele will suit up after initially being listed as probable due to a left calf contusion. Over five outings (three starts) with Chicago, the big man has averaged 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Leonard Miller - Available vs. Detroit Miller (wrist) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Miller was recalled from the G League on Saturday and will suit up in this tough matchup against Detroit, although it's unclear just how many minutes he'll see. Miller is averaging just 5.0 minutes per game in 21 appearances off the bench this season between Minnesota and Chicago.

Leonard Miller - Probable Saturday Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact 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.

Zach Collins - Done for season Collins will undergo surgery for a sprain right toe and will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025-26 season.

Impact Collins has not played since sustaining the injury against the Bucks on Dec. 27. He was recently reevaluated by medical staff, who determined that season-ending surgery was the best course of action for the veteran big man. Collins was limited to just 10 regular-season games due to injury and averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 threes over 18.4 minutes per game. He will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Jaden Ivey - Out for at least two more weeks Ivey will have his left knee injury reevaluated by medical staff in two weeks.

Impact Ivey has been dealing with pain in his left knee, and the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year guard to be sidelined for an extended period of time. He was acquired by the Bulls from the Pistons in early February and averaged 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 2.0 steals over 28.8 minute per game in four outings (three starts) with Chicago. Ivey's absence means Collin Sexton, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham should all take on expanded roles off the bench behind backcourt starters Josh Giddey and Anfernee Simons.

Leonard Miller - Back with parent club The Bulls recalled Miller from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Miller will be available off the bench for the Bulls in Saturday's game against the Pistons, but the third-year forward is unlikely to be featured in the rotation. He received extended playing time for Windy City in its 141-135 loss to Raptors 905 on Friday, finishing with 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 30 minutes.

Guerschon Yabusele - Nursing minor calf injury Yabusele is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left calf contusion.

Impact Yabusele may have tweaked his calf during the Bulls' 110-101 loss to the Raptors on Thursday, when he logged eight points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes, though the veteran big man is on track to play in Saturday's contest. Since being acquired by the Bulls from the Knicks in early February, Yabusele is averaging 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals over 24.8 minutes per game.

Jaden Ivey - Iffy for Saturday Ivey (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Ivey is dealing with pain in his left knee and is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set. The 24-year-old guard wasn't included in the rotation during Thursday's loss to Toronto, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves.

Jaden Ivey - Removed from rotation Thursday Ivey (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors.

Impact After being acquired from the Pistons on Feb. 3, Ivey had started in three of the Bulls' final four contests before the All-Star break and averaged 29.0 minutes per contest. He was expected to see his playing time get squeezed to some degree coming out of the break with the Bulls bringing back guards Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) from multi-game absences, but Ivey's removal from the rotation entirely was surprising. A pending restricted free agent this summer, Ivey could still get a longer evaluation at some point as the Bulls look to determine whether he's part of their future plans, but it may take the team being without another guard before he gets his next opportunity. Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, head coach Billy Donovan said Friday that he supported acting head coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s decision not to play Ivey on Thursday, with Donovan noting that the 24-year-old "has not moved and played as he did in the past" coming off surgery last January to repair a broken fibula in in his left leg and another procedure in October to relieve discomfort in his right knee. Ivey's tepid production upon making his season debut in late November was likely a factor in the Pistons' willingness to move him ahead of the trade deadline.
