Impact With Jalen Smith (calf) back in the lineup following a three-game absence, Yabusele will slide to the second unit. Over four outings (three starts) with the Bulls, the 30-year-old big man has averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.5 minutes per contest.

Patrick Williams - Shifting to bench Williams will come off the bench Thursday against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Williams started Chicago's final game before the All-Star break, which marked his third start of the season, but he'll move back to a bench role Thursday now that the starting five has returned to health. The Florida State product is averaging 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his last five showings off the bench.

Collin Sexton - Returning to bench Sexton isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Sexton drew a spot start before the All-Star break with Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined, but Sexton will return to a reserve role Thursday evening. He's scored 17 or more points in each of his two appearances off the bench since joining the Bulls.

Jalen Smith - Upgraded to available Smith (calf) is available for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Impact Smith is back from a three-game absence with a strained right calf, likely pushing Guerschon Yabusele to the bench and eating into the playing time of Nick Richards. Over his last 12 appearances, Smith has averaged 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds. 1.3 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per game.

Tre Jones - Available Thursday Jones (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Jones was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable Thursday, and he's now been cleared to return from an 11-game absence due to a strained left hamstring. It wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction following the extended absence, though Jones' return will leave fewer minutes available for Rob Dillingham and Jaden Ivey.

Josh Giddey - Will play Thursday Giddey (hamstring) will play Thursday against the Raptors.

Impact Giddey is set for a return after missing Chicago's previous eight matchups while nursing a hamstring injury. He hasn't played in a game since Jan. 28, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team take it easy with his playing time in his first game back.

Tre Jones - Expected to play Jones (hamstring) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact After initially being listed with a questionable tag, Jones is on track to return from an 11-game absence. With that in mind, it's likely that he faces restrictions in his first game back. It will be interesting to see how the backcourt rotation shapes with Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons all vying for minutes.

Josh Giddey - Upgraded to probable Giddey (hamstring) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors.

Zach Collins - Remaining out for Thursday Collins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Collins has been sidelined since late December with a sprained right toe, and his timeline for a return remains murky at best. With the big man looking to be week-to-week, the backup center minutes behind Jalen Smith (calf) belong to Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele in the interim.

Tre Jones - Iffy for Thursday Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Impact Jones is trying to avoid missing a 12th consecutive contest due to a strained left hamstring. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also iffy for Thursday, Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton may still be needed to handle the bulk of the playmaking duties.
