Julian Phillips - Minimal impact Tuesday Phillips logged zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Impact Phillips was a second-round pick in this year's draft and played double-digit minutes in the Bulls' first three preseason games, but he had limited playing time during the team's penultimate preseason matchup Tuesday. He's unlikely to be a significant part of Chicago's rotation once the regular season begins.

Nikola Vucevic - Posts double-double Tuesday Vucevic tallied 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Impact Vucevic rested during Sunday's preseason game but took on a key role in his return to action Tuesday. Although the Bulls were unable to pick up the win, Vucevic was one of two players on the team to score 20-plus points while also finishing second in rebounds. The 32-year-old has averaged a double-double in five consecutive seasons and should maintain a prominent role during the 2023-24 campaign.

Dalen Terry - Held scoreless Tuesday Terry logged zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in seven minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Impact Terry performed well during Summer League play this year but was limited during Chicago's penultimate preseason game Tuesday. He averaged just 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per game over 38 appearances with the Bulls last year but could see an increased role this season.

Chris Boucher - Fouls out Tuesday Boucher recorded three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 13 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 106-102 preseason win over the Bulls...
Impact Boucher continues to draw starts with Jakob Poeltl (illness) sidelined, a sign that he's slated to be the top frontcourt reserve during the regular season. Boucher showed off his defensive prowess in his limited action but was also a little too aggressive at times. Boucher has an extremely unique skill set, but it remains to be seen if he can handle more than 20 minutes per game and still be effective.
