Questionable for Wednesday Buzelis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with an illness.

Impact This is a new issue for Buzelis, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may be cautious. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips could be more involved for the Bulls if Buzelis can't give it a go.

Deadspin | Matas Buzelis' all-around effort boosts Bulls past Magic Deadspin | Matas Buzelis' all-around effort boosts Bulls past Magic

Steps up vs. Orlando Buzelis produced 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Magic.

Impact Buzelis was a strong contributor across the board Friday, leading his short-handed squad in points, assists and blocks. He shouldered a larger workload without the services of Coby White (calf), Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe), posting arguably his best all-around performance of the 2025-26 season so far. Buzelis should continue to have opportunities to shine until Chicago can shake the injury bug.

Buzelis scores 21 points, Huerter adds 20 as Bulls beat Magic 121-114 for 2nd straight win

Matas Buzelis scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half, Kevin Huerter added 20 points, and the Chicago Bulls rallied to beat the Orlando Magic 121-114 on Friday night

Solid with 19 points in win Buzelis produced 19 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Although Buzelis had some struggles with his shooting stroke, he logged enough shot volume to offset the deficiency. Most of his misses came beyond the arc, where he only connected twice over nine attempts. Buzelis would do well to tone down the long-range shot, as he's only converting at a 34.8 percent clip from downtown. The 21-year-old is on pace to surpass his rookie numbers, averaging 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists over 33 games.

Cleared to play Friday Buzelis (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Buzelis sustained a leg injury during the fourth quarter of the Bulls' 126-123 win over the Hawks on Tuesday, which prevented him from returning. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, and the second-year forward is on track to play Friday. Buzelis has averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over 27.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.
