Chicago Bulls News and Rumors - NBA

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.

Tre Jones - Fares well in loss Jones finished Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and one block in 22 minutes.

Impact Jones returned from an 11-game absence due to a strained left hamstring, and he was given a sizable role with the second unit. Notably, Jaden Ivey was pushed completely out of the rotation with Josh Giddey also back in the mix. With so much competition in the backcourt, Jones' value may be limited to deeper leagues.

Josh Giddey - Sees 21 minutes in return Giddey registered five points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to Toronto.

Impact Giddey returned to action after missing Chicago's previous eight matchups while nursing a hamstring injury. He saw a modest workload which is to be expected, and it's fair to expect the Bulls to proceed with caution moving forward. Plus, the Bulls begin a back-to-back set Saturday against Detroit.

Jalen Smith - Flirts with double-double in return Smith accumulated nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 24 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Smith returned to action after missing the previous three games with a calf issue. He moved straight back into the starting lineup, falling one point short of a double-double. In nie appearances over the past month, Smith has been able to flirt with top 80 value in standard leagues, averaging 12.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 0.9 steals. While the rotations in Chicago are going to be unpredictable, it does appear as though Smith could be looking at a sizeable role, at least for the foreseeable future.

Nick Richards - Inly 12 minutes in loss Richards amassed six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to Toronto.

Impact With Jalen Smith returning from a calf injury, Richards was limited to just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played since joining the Bulls. While he was able to cobble together some intriguing performances in his first two games for Chicago, his two most recent appearances have been far less inspiring. For now, he should only be rostered in deeper formats.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Anfernee Simons - Scores team-high 20 points 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.

Impact 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.
