Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets - News - January 08, 2024 | FOX Sports

Patrick Williams - Probable for Wednesday Williams is probable to play Wednesday against Houston due to a right ankle sprain

Impact Williams missed one game due to the sprain prior to returning and logging 23 minutes in Monday's win over Charlotte. His presence on the injury report is likely precautionary, with the 22-year-old firmly on track to play Wednesday.

Alex Caruso - Expected to play against Houston Caruso (neck) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Caruso continues to deal with a cervical strain but isn't expected to miss Wednesday's contest. The 29-year-old point guard is averaging 11.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Zach LaVine - Returns to injury report LaVine is questionable to play Wednesday against Houston due to right shoulder soreness and right foot inflammation.

Impact LaVine carried both injury designations into Monday's game against Charlotte prior to logging a full 36-minute workload, so his presence on Tuesday's injury report could be maintenance related. However, Chicago could opt to ramp him up cautiously after a 17-game absence due to inflammation/soreness in his right foot. More light will be shed on his status throughout Chicago's pre-game routines Wednesday.

Frank Ntilikina - Still out Wednesday Ntilikina (tibia) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Kings.

Impact Ntilikina is expected to be nearing his season debut after sitting out the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign with a left tibia non-displaced fracture. While Ntilikina won't suit up Wednesday, his next chance to do so is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Cody Martin - Iffy against Sacramento Martin (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Martin is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to a groin injury. If he's ruled out, Bryce McGowens and JT Thor will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

P.J. Washington Jr. - Doubtful to play Wednesday Washington is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Sacramento

Impact Washington is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a right foot sprain. Nick Richards logged a whopping 38 minutes in his absence Monday, while JT Thor and Nick Smith played enlarged roles.

LaMelo Ball - Not back in mix yet Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Ball ascended to full practice with some five-on-five activity Sunday, but being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Wednesday's contest doesn't indicate that he's necessarily on the cusp of a return. A return in the short-term remains possible, however, with Friday against San Antonio representing his next opportunity.
