Bulls' Jalen Smith: Considered doubtful for Friday
Smith (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Smith is in line to miss his fourth straight matchup while on the mend from a left hamstring strain. Zach Collins (wrist), who is questionable, could see more time if Smith is officially downgraded to out, though Lachlan Olbrich could also be asked to take on a heavier workload if both Smith and Collins are sidelined.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Out again
Smith (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Smith will miss a third straight contest due to a strained left hamstring. With Zach Collins also out, Nikola Vucevic will handle as many center minutes as possible. Lachlan Olbrich (calf) should see minutes as the backup center. Smith's next chance to play will come Friday against Indiana.

Smith (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Smith has missed two straight games due to a left hamstring strain and is at risk of missing a third. Zach Collins (wrist), who's yet to make his season debut, is also listed as questionable, so the backup center spot behind Nikola Vucevic on Wednesday remains unclear.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Out with hamstring injury
Smith will miss Saturday's matchup against the Pacers due to a left hamstring strain.
Saturday's game will be Smith's first missed action of the 2025-26 campaign. He's been playing well and averaging a career-high 10.0 points per game. In his stead, and with Zach Collins (wrist) out, the Bulls may have to run out a small-ball second unit featuring Patrick Williams (wrist) at center.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Struggles in loss Friday
Smith notched six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and five rebounds across 17 minutes during Friday's 123-116 loss to Charlotte.
Smith had arguably his worst game of the season, playing fewer than 18 minutes for the first time in the past four games. Despite playing as the primary backup behind Nikola Vucevic, Smith has been a somewhat consistent source of points and rebounds, based on his role, that is. Through 18 games, he is averaging 10.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Productive in loss to Miami
Smith logged 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and five blocks in 24 minutes during Friday's 143-107 loss to the Heat.
Smith has been putting up solid numbers as a reserve this season and notched his ninth game with double-digit points. Even though his second-unit role limits his upside, Smith can be a decent streaming option in some formats, as he's seeing 16.3 minutes and averaging a career-high 10.1 points per game.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Cleared to face Portland
Smith (chest) will play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Smith had initially been considered probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a right pectoralis strain. He's averaging 10.2 points and 6.3 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per game this season.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Probable for Wednesday
Smith is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right pectoralis strain.
Smith sustained the injury in the third quarter of Monday's win over the Nuggets, though he returned in the fourth and is likely to play Wednesday. Over his last five outings, the backup big man has averaged 12.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Returns to play
Smith (shoulder) returned to Monday's game against the Nuggets during the fourth quarter, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Exits to locker room
Smith exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right shoulder injury in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Nuggets, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Smith went down and immediately grabbed at his right shoulder before checking out with 1:03 remaining in the third. If the big man is unable to return, Noa Essengue and Patrick Williams are candidates for a slight bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Sneaky double-double Monday
Smith ended Monday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes.
Smith recorded his second consecutive double-double, logging a season-high 21 minutes. He has now scored in double digits in six of his past seven games, providing the Bulls with an unexpected offensive punch off the bench. As long as Nikola Vucevic is healthy, it's hard to envision Smith playing more than about 20 minutes on a consistent basis. However, his per-minute production should at least have him on the radar for streaming purposes.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Strong line off bench
Smith supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and five rebounds across 16 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 loss to the Knicks.
Smith continues to give the Bulls a big boost as their backup center, though his role could be in jeopardy once Zach Collins (wrist) returns -- Collins is due to be re-evaluated in mid-November. Through six regular-season contests, Smith is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.0 three-pointers.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Strong bench output in win
Smith provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 win over the Magic.
Smith was one of four Bulls reserves to score in double figures, helping spark the team to victory. The Maryland product is in his second season with Chicago and has carved out a dependable role as frontcourt depth, averaging 8.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in 15.0 minutes across 64 regular-season games (two starts) in 2024-25. While this level of scoring shouldn't be expected consistently, it's a positive sign for the big man, who reached or surpassed 16 points just twice last season.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Not starting Wednesday
Smith will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the Pistons.
Isaac Okoro missed Chicago's preseason finale with a minor knee issue, which resulted in Smith drawing a spot-start. However, Okoro is back with the starters for Wednesday's opener, so Smith will likely be limited to minutes in the teens as a reserve.
