Doesn't practice Monday Phillips (knee) did not practice Monday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Impact Phillips has missed the past two exhibition games for Chicago, and it looks like that number will hit three for Tuesday's game in Denver. Phillips will have a negligible role in the Bulls' rotation to start the season, so he can safely be ignored in most leagues.

Coming off bench Phillips isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Phillips made back-to-back starts to close the regular season due to the absence of Josh Giddey. With Giddey available Wednesday, Phillips will rejoin the reserves. Phillips averaged 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds across 14.2 minutes per game during the regular season.

Scores season-high 23 points Phillips ended Friday's 119-89 win over the Wizards with 23 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Phillips entered the starting five Friday due to Josh Giddey (forearm) being out and capitalized on the increased playing time by tallying a season-high 23 points. Phillips also was one rebound shy of his first double-double of the campaign. Across his four starts this season, Phillips has posted 48.0/40.0/90.0 shooting splits.

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.

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.
