Bulls' Jaylin Sellers: Sits out Sunday
Sellers (back) did not play in Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to Denver.
Sellers continues to deal with lower-back soreness that has limited his preseason availability. The two-way guard will look to return to action as Chicago completes its exhibition schedule, though his immediate fantasy outlook remains limited.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Remains on sidelines
Collins (toe) did not play in Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to Denver.
Collins continues to deal with a toe injury that has kept him out of preseason action. The veteran big man will look to return before the regular season begins, though his availability for Chicago's next exhibition remains uncertain.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Dishes out five assists
Jones (ankle) went scoreless (0-3 FG) but recorded five assists, one rebound and one steal in 10 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to Denver.
Jones made his first preseason appearance after dealing with an ankle injury, providing solid playmaking despite struggling with his shot. He also avoided committing a turnover, an encouraging sign as he works his way back into game shape. His return gives Chicago another backcourt option heading into the regular season as the projected second-string point guard.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Dishes eight dimes against Denver
Giddey scored seven points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding eight assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets.
The 24-year-old guard didn't make his usual impact with his shot or on the glass, but Giddey did lead the Bulls in assists on the night. Through three exhibition contests, he's averaging 9.0 points, 6.0 dimes, 3.0 boards, 1.0 threes and 1.0 blocks in 23.3 minutes, but his track record suggests he'll again be a regular triple-double threat once his workload increases and the games begin to count -- his 13 triple-doubles in 2025-26 tied the Hawks' Jalen Johnson for second in the league, behind only Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic's 34.

Bulls' Buddy Hield: Makes impact from long range
Hield produced 15 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 19 minutes off the bench during Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets.
The veteran wing was picked up from the Hornets at the end of September to provide some experience, and a moveable contract, to the Bulls' second unit, but while he's with Chicago, Hield's long-range shooting will help spread the floor for young building blocks like Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson. Hield's coming off a disappointing 2025-26 campaign split between Atlanta and Golden State, but prior to last season he hadn't shot below 36.6 percent from three-point range or averaged fewer than 2.2 treys in any of the prior eight seasons.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Strong preseason continues Sunday
Wilson played 25 minutes in Sunday's preseason loss to the Nuggets, scoring 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT) and adding five assists, four rebounds and a block.
The rookie led Chicago's starting five in minutes and points, although he also committed a game-high five turnovers. Through three exhibition contests, Wilson is averaging 28.7 minutes, 17.7 points, 3.7 boards, 2.3 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 47.6 percent from the floor and 31.6 percent from beyond the arc, as he prepares for a significant role in the rotation to begin his NBA career.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Continues strong preseason
Miller logged 26 points (11-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Miller put together an impressive performance off the bench Sunday, connecting on four three-pointers en route to a game-high 26 points. The 22-year-old pro has played well throughout the preseason, averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.7 minutes per contest across three appearances. Miller began to come on at the end of the 2025-26 season, scoring in double figures in 17 of the team's last 18 games.

Bulls' Norman Powell: Not starting Sunday
Powell is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
Powell started each of the previous two preseason games, but he is not starting Sunday. Isaac Okoro will enter the starting five in his place.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Available and starting Sunday
Smith (foot) is available and starting in Sunday's preseason game versus Denver.
Smith has been battling a foot injury but will be on the floor for the preseason meeting with the Nuggets after missing Friday's 104-100 loss to Memphis. The 2020 No. 10 overall pick started in 21 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 24.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Slotted to bench
Awaka will come off the bench during Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
Awaka will shift back to a reserve role due to Jalen Smith (foot) returning to the lineup. The Arizona product was held scoreless for 24 minutes during Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Starting against Nuggets
Okoro will start in Sunday's preseason game against Denver.
Okoro will join Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Jalen Smith in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason meeting with the Nuggets. The 25-year-old started in 62 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 27.0 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Available, starting Sunday
Buzelis (ankle) will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
Buzelis left Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies early due to a right ankle injury, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Buzelis recorded six points and a block in 12 minutes before exiting Friday's game.

Bulls' Noa Essengue: Struggles with shot
Essengue posted five points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds in 19 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
After missing all of last season due to a left shoulder injury, Essengue is healthy, but he's still shaking off some rust. In two preseason games, he's 1-for-10 from the field with minimal peripheral production. Essengue appears to be buried on the depth chart, with the Bulls selecting Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and Dailyn Swain at No. 15 in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Modest bench role
Williams produced three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
The 2020 No. 4 overall pick continues to fall out of favor in Chicago despite being in the middle of a four-year, $72 million contract. The Bulls drafted Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain this offseason to pair with Matas Buzelis, plus 2025 lottery pick Noa Essengue figures to be ahead of Williams on the developmental priority list as well.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Double-doubles off bench
Miller logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to Memphis.
It was another strong preseason performance out of Miller, who was close to recording a double-double in the first half alone (eight points and eight rebounds). Even with a strong preseason to solidify his spot on the 15-man roster, Miller faces an uphill battle to playing time, as he figures to operate behind the likes of Patrick Williams, rookie Dailyn Swain, Jalen Smith (foot) and Zach Collins (toe).

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Chips in 13 points in Friday's loss
Giddey finished Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to Memphis with 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three assists, three rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.
Giddey was one of four Bulls players to score in double digits during Friday's exhibition contest, and he finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind rookie Caleb Wilson (21) and veteran Norman Powell (17). Giddey is aiming to build off a productive 2025-26 season, during which he averaged career highs across the board, including in points (17.0), assists (9.1) and rebounds (8.3), though his 44.8 percent field-goal rate were his lowest since his rookie campaign with the Thunder in 2021-22 (41.9 percent on 12.4 FGA/G).

Bulls' Norman Powell: Lives at charity stripe in preseason loss
Powell registered 17 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT, 10-12 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during the Bulls' 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Powell attempted only six field goals during Friday's exhibition game, but thanks to his work at the charity stripe, he finished as the Bulls' second-leading scorer behind rookie Caleb Wilson (21 points). Powell inked a two-year contract with the Bulls in July following his 2025-26 All-Star campaign with the Heat and will form a starting backcourt with Josh Giddey for the upcoming season. Matas Buzelis left Friday's game early due to an ankle injury, and although it was likely a precautionary move to leave him off the court the rest of the way, it's an injury that could impact Powell's usage early on in the season.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Drills five triples in preseason loss
Wilson finished Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies with 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes.
Wilson struggled to get going in the first half, during which he scored one point while shooting 0-for-2 from the field in 16 minutes. However, he erupted for 20 points and shot 5-for-10 from downtown in the second half, finishing with a game-high 21 points. The rookie No. 4 overall pick has led the Bulls in scoring in both of their preseason games, totaling 36 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 61 minutes.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Exits Friday's game early
Buzelis exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies and will not return due to a right ankle injury, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. He'll finish with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one block in 12 minutes.
Buzelis appeared to twist his ankle earlier in the game but initially played through the injury. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's exhibition against Denver. With the 2024 first-rounder out for the remainder of the game, Dailyn Swain and Leonard Miller could see increased playing time.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Starting vs. Memphis
Awaka will start Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
Nic Claxton (hamstring), Zach Collins (toe) and Jalen Smith (foot) are all unavailable, opening the door for Awaka to enter the starting five. The 22-year-old was highly productive in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over the Suns, recording 14 points, 11 rebounds, a steal and a block in 21 minutes.
