  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Still out with concussion

    Smith is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a concussion.

    Smith remains in the league's concussion protocol, which is keeping him out for a second consecutive contest. Patrick Williams could see an uptick in playing time Wednesday, while Lachlan Olbrich appears slated to handle the backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Out for Monday

    Smith (concussion) won't play Monday in Boston.

    Smith is currently in concussion protocol and will need to clear a series of tests before he's allowed to return to the court. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips should pick up the slack in Smith's absence.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Enters concussion protocol

    Smith entered the league's concussion protocol following the Bulls' 112-99 loss to the Hornets on Saturday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Smith was evaluated by medical staff after a head-to-head collision with LaMelo Ball early in the third quarter, and the former has now been placed in concussion protocol. The Bulls' next game takes place Monday against Boston, but Smith would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available. With Zach Collins (toe) sidelined, Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips would be in line for more minutes if Smith were to miss time, though it's worth noting that Kevin Huerter led the bench with 31 minutes during Saturday's loss.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Possible concussion

    Smith is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's game against Charlotte.

    Smith was helped to the locker room early in the third quarter after a head-to-head collision with LaMelo Ball. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips will step into larger roles for as long as Smith is being evaluated by medical staff.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Helped to locker room

    Smith went to the locker room early in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a head injury, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Smith was involved in a head-to-head collision with LaMelo Ball, with the former staying down for several minutes before being helped to the locker room. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips should see more minutes off the bench for as long as Smith is out of the game.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Posts another double-double

    Smith had 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 121-114 win over the Magic.

    Smith has seen a sharp uptick in playing time in back-to-back starts, and he's paid it off by tallying a pair of double-doubles. He's been a solid contributor across the board over this brief hot stretch, though he's capable of doing even more damage if he can find his touch from beyond the arc. Smith has hit on just two of 11 attempts from downtown in his last two games.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Starting Wednesday vs. NOLA

    Smith is in the Bulls' starting lineup against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

    With Josh Giddey (hamstring), Coby White (calf) and Zach Collins (toe) sidelined, the Bulls will deploy Smith alongside Nikola Vucevic for a bigger starting five in Wednesday's contest. Smith has played 22 minutes or more in each of Chicago's last three games and will enter the team's starting lineup for the first time in the 2025-26 regular season. Over his previous three outings, he averaged 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.3 blocks over 23.3 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Chips in 12 points in loss

    Smith racked up 12 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 136-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

    With Zach Collins (toe) sidelined, the 25-year-old center tied his most minutes played this season and had a productive night on both ends of the floor, drilling a trio of threes with three combined steals and blocks. Smith was capped at 17 minutes in each of his first six games after returning from a hamstring injury Dec. 12 but has now logged at least 22 minutes in three straight games for the first time this season. The Maryland product is averaging 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks over the past three games.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Upgraded to available

    Smith (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's game against Hawks.

    A left quadriceps contusion won't stop Smith from suiting up Sunday. He's in line to play his usual role as frontcourt depth alongside Zach Collins. Smith has scored in single digits in five straight games, during which he's averaged 5.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 15.5 minutes per contest.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Tabbed probable

    Smith is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to a left quadriceps contusion.

    Smith is tending to what appears to be a minor quad injury, and he's expected to play through the issue Sunday. In his last four games, Smith is averaging 4.8 points and 5.3 rebounds across 15.0 minutes.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Grabs seven boards in win

    Smith ended with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over Cleveland.

    Smith has been slowly ramping up his workload since missing five games due to a hamstring injury. He was on quite a tear before his injury, averaging 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 threes across 18.7 minutes through 10 games. However, now that Zach Collins and Nikola Vucevic are both healthy, it'll be difficult for Smith to see increased playing time even if he's producing well.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Nabs 10 boards in return

    Smith provided five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 129-126 victory over the Hornets.

    Smith made his first appearance since Nov. 28 due to a left hamstring issue. He struggled a bit on the offensive end but still managed to rack up double-digit rebounds despite being on a 20-minute restriction. Smith typically sits around the 20-minute mark on a nightly basis in his role behind Nikola Vucevic, so the limit shouldn't have much of an impact as he eases back into the swing of things.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Good to go Friday

    Smith (hamstring) will play on a 20-minute restriction during Friday's game against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    After missing five consecutive contests due to a left hamstring strain, Smith will return to action against Charlotte. The big man will likely split time with Zach Collins (wrist) behind starter Nikola Vucevic, assuming Collins ditches his probable tag. Over his last five appearances, Smith has averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes per contest.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Likely to play Friday

    Smith (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

    After practicing in full Wednesday, Smith is set to play Friday. The veteran big man has missed five straight games with a hamstring strain, and Smith is expected to split the backup center minutes with Zach Collins (wrist), likely leaving both fighting for scraps off the bench.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Practices Wednesday

    Smith (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Smith has missed the past five games for Charlotte, but the recent time off has done him a lot of good. He'll have another 48 hours to recover in time for Friday's game against the Hornets.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Won't play Sunday

    Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Smith will officially miss a fifth straight game due to a hamstring injury, but he'll have additional time to recover before the Bulls' next game Friday against the Hornets. Zach Collins (wrist) will continue to serve as Chicago's primary backup center behind Nikola Vucevic.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Doubtful for Sunday

    Smith (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Smith is on track to miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday evening, so Zach Collins (wrist) will likely be operating as Nikola Vucevic's primary backup. Check back for official word on Smith's status closer to Sunday's tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Ruled out Friday

    Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Smith will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a left hamstring strain. With the big man sidelined, Zach Collins and Lachlan Olbrich are candidates to pick up the slack behind Nikola Vucevic. Smith's next chance to play will come Sunday against Golden State.
