Tyler Herro - Available MondayHerro has been removed from the injury report in advance of Monday's game against Minnesota.

ImpactHerro a set to return from an 18-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Kyle Lowry (rest/soreness) has been ruled out for Monday's game, so Miami won't quite be at full strength, but Herro and Bam Adebayo (hip) will both return from extended absences. The re-introduction of Herro's workload will be worth monitoring, as Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez and Josh Richardson will likely each see a slight reduction in usage.

Bam Adebayo - Available for MondayAdebayo (hip) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against Minnesota.

ImpactDespite ominously lacking a timetable to return, Adebayo is set to return to action after a seven-game absence Monday. It's unclear if his minutes will be monitored, but Adebayo's bruised left hip appears to be on the mend and shouldn't carry a re-aggravation risk. His return will coincide with Tyler Herro's (ankle), as the duo have both been cleared for action Monday.

Kyle Lowry - Won't play MondayLowry has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to general soreness.

ImpactLowry will miss his first game since Nov. 12. Josh Richardson is a candidate to move into the starting lineup in Lowry's absence, but Tyler Herro has also been cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 8 and figures to absorb some of Lowry's usage. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Orlando.

Torrey Craig - Doubtful for MondayCraig is doubtful for Monday's game against Philadelphia due to right heel soreness.

ImpactCraig has yet to miss a game this season, but he was forced to exit Saturday's loss to Miami in the second half. If Craig can't suit up Monday, Dalen Terry could remain in the rotation, while Ayo Dosunmu would likely see an uptick in role.

Alex Caruso - Questionable for MondayCaruso (ankle) is questionable to play Monday against Philadelphia.

ImpactCaruso is dealing with a re-aggravated left ankle sprain, putting him at risk of missing his fourth contest in five games for Chicago. The Bulls are 1-5 without Caruso this season, with the only victory coming against the Pistons.

Dalen Terry - Season-high workloadTerry notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 loss to the Heat.

ImpactTerry logged a season-high 16 minutes, largely due to Alex Caruso (ankle) being unavailable. He failed to capitalize in his enlarged role Saturday, and hasn't been able to make a relevant impact at the NBA level across his first two seasons. Terry has logged 68 total minutes across 11 appearances for the Bulls this season.

DECEMBER 17, 2023•ROTOWIRE

DeMar DeRozan - Heroics fall shortDeRozan contributed 27 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 loss to the Heat.

ImpactDeRozan posted one of his most statistically versatile lines of the season, being efficient despite hounding efforts from Miami's defense, in addition to making defensive contributions of his own. The 34-year-old tripped to the ground and turned the ball over when Miami brought a double-team his way on the Bulls' penultimate possession, allowing Miami to tie the game at 116 and subsequently win at the buzzer. Nonetheless, DeRozan remains among the most rock-solid consistent contributors in basketball.
