Lonzo Ball Lonzo Ball (wrist) doubtful Thursday vs. Brooklyn
Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 10:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Ball has missed the Bulls' last five games with a sprained right wrist and appears likely to miss a sixth on Thursday. With Josh Giddey (ankle) also unlikely to play, the Bulls will rely more on Tre Jones (who has started with Ball sidelined) and Kevin Huerter on the perimeter alongside Coby White. |

Josh Giddey Donovan: Josh Giddey will be out for âa whileâ
Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 8:31 AM
Billy Donovan told reporters Wednesday that Josh Giddey (ankle) will be âout for a little bit.â
Analysis: Giddey tweaked his ankle on Monday and it appears like he'll miss more than a couple of games. Tre Jones can step into a larger role while Giddey recovers. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams plays 13 minutes in return
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 5:04 PM
Patrick Williams finished Monday's win over the Pacers with two points (1-of-3 FGs), three rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes.
Analysis: Monday's game was Williams's first since February 12, and he was restricted to 24 minutes. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, he finished nowhere near that number. Williams has not provided much fantasy value this season, and when healthy, he hasn't done enough to earn starters' minutes consistently. There's a reason why Williams is only rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vucevic posts double-double in return
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 5:02 PM
Nikola Vucevic amassed 11 points (5-of-8 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 24 minutes in Monday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Appearing in his first game since February 22, Vucevic was used in a reserve role for just the second time in his Bulls career. That didn't prevent him from recording his 195th double-double as a Bull, moving into third on the franchise's all-time list behind Artis Gilmore and Scottie Pippen. Zach Collins retained his spot in the starting lineup and played 23 minutes, finishing with seven points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. When Vooch returns to the starting lineup remains to be seen. But this may be where he stays in that role until he's freed from any restrictions. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) exits during fourth quarter
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 5:02 PM
Josh Giddey (ankle) accounted for 29 points (11-of-18 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in 28 minutes in Monday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Seemingly on his way to the best scoring effort of his NBA career, Giddey's night ended disappointingly during the fourth quarter. He injured his right ankle after landing on the foot of a Pacers defender and did not return from the locker room. What's concerning is that this is the same ankle Giddey injured during Australia's final game during the Paris Olympics, which limited him during the preseason. If he has to miss time, Kevin Huerter (13/4/1/3/1 with three three-pointers in 34 minutes) will have added importance, possibly as Giddey's replacement in the starting lineup. |

Coby White Coby White tallies 29 points, seven rebounds
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 5:00 PM
Coby White recorded 29 points (11-of-20 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 34 minutes in Monday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: The tandem of White and Josh Giddey was outstanding on Monday, as they combined to score 58 points. Over the past month, Coby has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That production is two rounds better than what he's done this season, and the Bulls may need a little more from White in the short term. Giddey injured his right ankle during the fourth quarter, and the Bulls have also been without Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu. With Dosunmu out for the season and Ball not having a timeline for return, look for White's usage to increase if Giddey misses time. |

Coby White Coby White (toe) available Monday vs. Pacers
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 12:48 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (toe) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: White is officially available after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. He'll assume his usual role as one of the Bulls' starting guards. Fantasy managers with White rostered need to ensure he's in their active lineups before tipoff. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams on minutes limit
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 12:35 PM
Will Gottlieb
Nikola Vucevic (calf) will be limited to 26-28 minutes, while Patrick Williams (quad) will be limited to 24 minutes against the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: Vucevic will be back after missing Chicago's last seven games, but he won't be able to play a full role. Zach Collins, who had been starting in place of Vucevic, will still play a significant part off the bench. Williams, who hasn't played since before the All-Star break, will also be limited, though he played fewer than 20 minutes in Chicago's last three games before the break. |

Lonzo Ball Lonzo Ball (wrist) out Monday against Pacers
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 12:28 PM
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is out for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Ball is set to miss his fifth-straight game with a wrist injury. Tre Jones will likely continue to start against Indiana in the 27-year-old point guard's absence. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) available Monday vs. IND
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 12:24 PM
Patrick Williams (quad) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Williams is back after missing the last nine games in a row with a quad injury. The 23-year-old power forward should get some minutes in his first game back, but not enough to have fantasy value. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vucevic (calf) available Monday vs. IND
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 6:37 AM
K.C. Johnson on Twitter
Nikola Vucevic (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Pacers.
Analysis: Vooch has missed seven straight games, and it's unclear if he'll face any restrictions after such a long layoff. Zach Collins has been excellent as a fill-in at center, but he is headed back to the bench. Fantasy managers should hang onto Collins in case Vucevic suffers any setbacks. |
|
Coby White Coby White (toe) probable Monday vs. Pacers
Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 6:54 AM
Coby White (toe) is probable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: White has scored at least 21 points in five straight games and appears set to continue being a key force on offense for the Bulls on Monday. |

Lonzo Ball Lonzo Ball (wrist) doubtful vs. Pacers Monday
Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 6:47 AM
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Ball will likely miss his fifth straight game on Monday. Tre Jones should maintain his spot as a fill-in starter against Indiana. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams questionable Mon.
Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 6:41 AM
Nikola Vucevic (calf) and Patrick Williams (quad) are questionable for Monday's matchup with the Pacers.
Analysis: Zach Collins will continue filling in for Vucevic if he's ruled out. A host of reserve wings could take on Williams' minutes if he misses a 10th straight game. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey triple-doubles in win over Heat
Sat, Mar 8, 2025, 4:33 PM
Josh Giddey finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, a steal, a block and three triples across 37 minutes in Saturday's win over Miami.
Analysis: Giddey stuffed the stat sheet yet again as he produced his third triple-double of the 2024-25 campaign. He's enjoying a productive first season in the Windy City, and he's been even better over his last eight games with averages of 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in that span. |

Zach Collins Zach Collins posts big double-double in win
Sat, Mar 8, 2025, 4:31 PM
Zach Collins posted 18 points, 15 boards, three assists and four triples across 32 minutes in Saturday's win over Miami.
Analysis: Collins provided his third double-double in seven starts with Chicago, getting it going from downtown and crashing the glass with authority. Collins fouled out of Thursday's win over Orlando after just 12 minutes, so this was a great bounce back effort. He'll continue to shine for as long as Nikola Vucevic is sidelined. |

https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-03-08_06PM.pdf
Coby White (toe) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Heat, and Lonzo Ball (wrist) is out.
Analysis: No surprises here as White was listed as probable and Ball as doubtful. White finished Thursday's win over Orlando with a career-best 44 points, and he'll look to keep the momentum going on Saturday against Florida's other NBA franchise. |

https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-03-08_06PM.pdf
Nikola Vucevic (calf) and Patrick Williams (quad) are out for Saturday's matchup with Miami.
Analysis: Zach Collins should continue to start in Vucevic's place, making him a fine streaming option. Dalen Terry will be the biggest beneficiary of Williams' absence. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) doubtful Saturday vs. MIA
Fri, Mar 7, 2025, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Williams has missed the last eight games with a quad injury, with February 12 being the last time he's played. His continued absence will mean more rotation minutes for Julian Phillips, which does not impact fantasy basketball. |
|
Coby White Coby White (toe) probable Saturday vs. Heat
Fri, Mar 7, 2025, 11:46 AM
Drew Stevens
Coby White (toe) is probable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: White is coming off a career-high 44 points in Thursday's win over the Magic. The 25-year-old point guard is dealing with right toe sesamoitidis, but is likely to play Saturday against the Heat given his probable listing. |
