Portland takes on Chicago for non-conference showdown

The Chicago Bulls host the Portland Trail Blazers in non-conference play

APRIL 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Questionable to face Portland Phillips (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Phillips is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a right quad contusion. The 21-year-old forward has averaged 4.6 points and 2.2 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances. If Phillips remains on the shelf, Talen Horton-Tucker and Patrick Williams will likely receive an uptick in playing time off the bench, especially if Dalen Terry (calf) is ruled out as well.

Out Tuesday Phillips is out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with a right quadriceps contusion, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Impact His next chance to play won't come until Friday against Portland, giving Phillips some time to recover. Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams should split the minutes at power forward Tuesday in Phillips' absence.

Iffy for Tuesday Phillips is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with a right quadriceps contusion.

Impact This sounds like a minor issue for Phillips, but the Bulls may play it safe on the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Phillips can't go, the Bulls could potentially give E.J. Liddell a look in the rotation.

Sees 27 minutes Phillips ended Thursday's 128-116 win over the Kings with two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes.

Impact Phillips started the second half of this game, and he saw plenty of action with Josh Giddey (ankle) sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury management. Phillips has played 20.2 minutes per game over his last six contests, posting averages of 6.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Logs career highs in victory Phillips racked up 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Nets.

Impact Phillips posted career-high marks in points, rebounds and assists Thursday. The 21-year-old led the second unit in points in the win, and he recorded just his sixth outing scoring in double figures this season. Additionally, the second-year forward connected on multiple triples for the ninth time over 64 regular-season appearances. Phillips has averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 20.7 minutes per game over six outings in March.

Coby White scores 31 points as Bulls rally to beat Nets 116-110

Productive off bench Phillips contributed nine points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over Indiana.

Impact Phillips was in a brutal slump coming into Monday's game, so this performance was a step in the right direction. Fantasy managers will need to see this become a trend before jumping onboard, however. Over his last eight games, Phillips has averaged 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds on 37.9 percent shooting from the field.

Muted role continues in loss Phillips finished Sunday's 127-112 loss to the Pacers with three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 20 minutes.

Impact Despite a multitude of injuries hitting Chicago's starting lineup in addition to Zach LaVine's departure, Phillips hasn't seen an opportunity in the starting lineup since Dec. 30. Through six games following the All-Star break, Phillips has averaged 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes while shooting just 39.3 percent from the floor. While the 2023 second-rounder should remain a stable member of the rotation, his fantasy value is likely to stay muted.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season highs in loss Phillips notched 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Impact Phillips logged season highs in points and rebounds Thursday, playing 20 or more minutes for the first time since Dec. 5. The 21-year-old has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, during which he has logged only five outings with double-digit points. Over his last five appearances, Phillips has averaged 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per contest.

Drops donut in loss Wednesday Phillips chipped in one rebound, one block and one steal over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Phillips failed to score as the Bulls fell to their fourth straight loss. Despite making very few moves at the trade deadline, the Bulls' efforts to secure a play-in spot could be fruitless given their recent play. Phillips has been a regular in the rotation but typically plays fewer than 15 minutes.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelming season continues Phillips finished Wednesday's 127-108 loss to the Timberwolves with two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and one block across 17 minutes.

Impact Phillips offered very little in the loss, providing basically nothing on both ends of the court despite playing 17 minutes. With season averages of 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game, it's hard to envisage him stepping into a meaningful role any time soon.

FEBRUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly again Monday Phillips closed with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two assists in six minutes during Monday's 129-121 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Phillips continues to play a limited role off the bench, logging fewer than 10 minutes for the third time in the past five games. Although he has appeared in 46 games thus far, he is only averaging 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

Ties season high with 10 points Phillips had 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-94 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Phillips made up for scoring zero points in Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans by tying his season-high point total in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks. The 21-year-old forward has scored 10 points off the bench four times this season as he continues to improve in the scoring department with more time on the floor for the Bulls.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to parent club The Bulls recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Phillips will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Phillips tallied 18 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes during Friday's 98-95 loss to the Texas Legends.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to G League The Bulls assigned Phillips to the Windy City Bulls of the G League on Friday.

Impact Phillips has been a consistent part of Chicago's rotation, averaging 4.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.1 minutes across his last 10 outings. However, the 21-year-old forward will have the opportunity to receive increased playing time while in the G League.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slides back to bench Phillips isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Phillips drew the start Monday against Charlotte in place of Zach LaVine, who was absent with a toe injury, but played just 11 minutes. With LaVine healthy, Phillips will return to his typical reserve role. On the year, Phillips is averaging 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds across 13.9 minutes per game.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans LaVine Phillips will start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact With Zach LaVine (toe) sidelined, Phillips will get his third start of the season. The 21-year-old has played a reduced role over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 points off bench Phillips produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto.

Impact With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined and Josh Giddey (ankle) leaving the contest early, Phillips tied his season high with 10 points, a mark he hadn't reached since Nov. 9. Phillips' role has been inconsistent this season, but he gets minutes when the Bulls are shorthanded, though he hasn't produced enough to be relevant in standard fantasy leagues.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Friday Phillips is not in the Bulls' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Phillips has started in the Bulls' last two games and averaged 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over 27.0 minutes per game over that span. However, he will retreat to the bench for Friday's game as Coby White returns from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.
