Coby White Coby White (calf) questionable Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:15 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: White said on Wednesday that he hopes to be available for Friday's game, but he was more certain about his chances of playing on Sunday against the Warriors. Ayo Dosunmu played 36 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup on Wednesday and would be in line for a similar workload on Friday. Due to a sprained thumb, Dosunmu is also questionable for Friday. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry probable Friday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) and Dalen Terry (calf) are probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Williams and Terry are on track to play Friday night, which is good news for a Bulls squad that has struggled with injuries recently. That said, neither has been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. Feel free to leave Williams and Terry on the waiver wire. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (hamstring) doubtful Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Smith is on track to miss a fourth consecutive game with a strained left hamstring. Who assumes the backup center minutes depends on the availability of Zach Collins (wrist), who is questionable. If he can't make his season debut, Lachlan Olbrich will once again take on the responsibility of backing up Nikola Vu?evi?. |
|
Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) doubtful Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaac Okoro (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Okoro has missed Chicago's last six games, and the doubtful tag suggests he'll miss a seventh on Friday. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does impact the minutes available to Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. While Dosunmu should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, Phillips is not productive enough to merit streaming. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) doubtful Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Jones did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Nets and appears likely to miss another game on Friday. How impactful his absence would be depends on Coby White's availability, who also sat out Chicago's most recent game. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter played 18 and 16 minutes off the bench, respectively, and could take on similar roles on Friday. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) questionable Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Dosunmu is dealing with a sprained thumb on his right (shooting) hand. Due to the absences of multiple players, he has taken on an expanded role within the Bulls' rotation, providing reliable late-round value whether he starts or comes off the bench. With Kevin Huerter out and Tre Jones doubtful, Dosunmu will again figure prominently in the rotation if he plays. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) questionable Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach Collins (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Collins did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Nets despite participating in pregame shootaround. His return would impact the center rotation behind starter Nikola Vu?evi?, with Lachlan Olbrich taking on that role recently. With Jalen Smith considered doubtful, Collins may be asked to take on the backup responsibilities immediately if he's available. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey has triple-double in loss to Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:07 PM
Josh Giddey had 28 points (10-of-14 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Nets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Giddey's triple-double was his fifth of the season and 23rd of his career. The 23-year-old shooting guard was highly efficient with 28 points on 14 attempts and 11 assists to just three turnovers. Giddey has returned fifth-round value so far this season. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) available Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:37 PM
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Williams is available despite his appearance on the injury report with a wrist injury. Even with the Bulls dealing with a bout of injuries, the 24-year-old forward hasn't seen his minutes increase. Williams isn't worth holding in most fantasy leagues at this point. |
|
Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (illness) available, will start
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:34 PM
Julian Phillips (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: No surprise here, as Phillips was initially listed as probable and is now officially available for Wednesday's game against the Nets. With Isaac Okoro and Kevin Huerter both out, the 22-year-old will be part of the Bulls' starting lineup. He joins Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vu?evi?. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (hamstring) out at least one week
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:15 PM
Drew Stevens
Kevin Huerter (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Huerter was injured during Monday's loss to the Magic and will sit out Wednesday's game against the Nets. Unfortunately, he's going to miss a few more games on top of that, with Bulls head coach Billy Donovan revealing that Huerter will be out for at least one week. While Tre Jones would be worth a look, he is also out with a sprained ankle. Ayo Dosunmu is worth targeting, especially as he continues to start. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) out Wednesday vs. Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:37 PM
Zach Collins (wrist) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Collins participated in shootaround on Wednesday, but was ultimately ruled out for the game against the Nets. The 28-year-old power forward will look to make his season debut against the Pacers on Friday. With Jalen Smith (hamstring) also out, Lachlan Olbrich should pick up more minutes off the bench. |
|
Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) out Wednesday vs. Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:32 PM
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Okoro hasn't played since November 21 due to a back injury. With the 24-year-old small forward sidelined against the Nets on Wednesday, Ayo Dosunmu will continue to take on a bigger role for the Bulls. |
|
Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) available Wednesday vs. Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:32 PM
K.C. Johnson
Dalen Terry (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Terry is available to make his first appearance in a game since November 21. While his playing time may be restricted, there are opportunities to contribute with the Bulls being down multiple guards. There's no need to stream Terry immediately, but his playing time and production should be watched in deeper leagues. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (hamstring) out Wednesday vs. Brooklyn
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:26 PM
K.C. Johnson
Jalen Smith (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Smith will miss a third straight game with a strained left hamstring. With Zach Collins (wrist) also out, the backup center responsibilities will once again fall upon Lachlan Olbrich's shoulders. This is not a good place to find deep-league fantasy value, as starter Nikola Vu?evi? will play plenty. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) downgraded to out Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:25 PM
K.C. Johnson
Tre Jones (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: With Coby White and Kevin Huerter also out, the Bulls will be extremely thin in the backcourt on Wednesday behind starters Josh Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu. Jevon Carter should play rotation minutes, but he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) hopes to play Friday vs. Pacers
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 6:27 AM
K.C. Johnson
Coby White (calf) said he âhopesâ to play against the Pacers on Friday, but he know it could be on Sunday against the Warriors.
Analysis: White has already been ruled out against Brooklyn on Wednesday, but that could be his final absence. Ayo Dosunmu has been starting in his place, but he'll return to a reserve role when White is back. That won't eliminate all the value he held, but it will certainly limit his production. The good news for managers with White rostered is that he should be back by the weekend. |

Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) participates in shootaround
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 6:23 AM
K.C. Johnson
Zach Collins (wrist) participated in shootaround on Wednesday.
Analysis: Typically participating in shootaround is a sign that a player will suit up, but Collins will practice with the Windy City Bulls later on Wednesday, which may indicate that he won't play against the Nets. He said if that goes well, he will play âvery soonâ, which indicates he could make his season debut on Friday against the Pacers. For now, Jalen Smith (hamstring) will occupy the reserve center minutes if he plays, with Lachlan Olbrich backing him up. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) now questionable vs. Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (ankle) is questionable to play against the Nets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jones was initially listed as probable but has since been downgraded. Coby White (calf) and Kevin Huerter (hamstring) are out, which means Ayo Dosunmu is already starting. Jones' absence will likely open the door for Jevon Carter to play the backup guard minutes, though Dosunmu and Giddey should be on the floor for most of the game, which won't leave enough time for Carter to be worth streaming. |
|
Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (illness) probable Wednesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Julian Phillips (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Phillips is one of many Bulls listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game. The good news is that he's considered probable, so there's a good chance he suits up. With Isaac Okoro doubtful and Kevin Huerter out, there should be additional rotation minutes available to Phillips. However, it's unlikely to be enough for him to affect fantasy basketball. |
