Bulls' Zach Collins: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Collins (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Collins has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut, but that could change Wednesday after he went to the G League on Tuesday to practice. The Bulls have struggled mightily to protect the paint this season, so Collins' addition to the rotation would be a welcome sight. Jalen Smith (hamstring) is also questionable, so there could be plenty of minutes available behind Nikola Vucevic on Wednesday.
