Leonard Miller Stays with Bulls on $2.4 Million Option

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, the Chicago Bulls picked up the $2.4 million team option on forward Leonard Miller. The former second-round pick played well after arriving in Chicago at the trade deadline, averaging 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game across 27 appearances for the organization. However, he will face heavy competition for playing time in the frontcourt this season alongside Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis, and incoming rookie Caleb Wilson. Although Miller produced well down the stretch, he likely needs to carve out a consistent rotation role to become a reliable fantasy performer.

Nicolas Claxton Traded to Bulls in Three-Team Deal

The Chicago Bulls are adding center Nicolas Claxton in a three-team trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Brooklyn is routing Claxton to Chicago in the same deal that sends Julius Randle from Minnesota to the Nets. The 27-year-old is a mobile, switchable defensive anchor who averaged 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, a career-high 3.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting last season. His scoring stays modest, but the blocks, rebounding, and strong field-goal percentage carry real fantasy value if he locks down a starting role in Chicago. Claxton's improved passing, which produced two triple-doubles in Brooklyn, adds a sneaky assist source for a center. Just watch where he slots in the Bulls' frontcourt before counting on a full workload.

Matas Buzelis Will Play for Lithuania This Summer

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis will make his debut for the Lithuanian national team this summer, according to Eurohoops. The 21-year-old is scheduled to participate in FIBA World Cup qualifying games in July. This presents a strong developmental opportunity, as the increased physicality of international play could help him further refine his skill set. The extra reps should be highly beneficial for Buzelis, who took a significant step forward during his sophomore campaign. He averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game. If he continues to progress this summer, Buzelis could be an even more reliable fantasy performer heading into his third NBA season.

Josh Giddey Undergoes Ankle Surgery

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) recently underwent a successful right ankle arthroscopy, according to the organization on Wednesday. Giddey will be shut down from basketball activities for quite some time. He's expected to resume activities in roughly three months. This timetable should mean that Giddey is ready to go in time for training camp. This injury shouldn't impact his fantasy value for next season. Giddey averaged 17.0 points, 9.1 assists, and 8.3 rebounds across 32.1 minutes in 54 games with the Bulls last season. He's expected to have a similar role on the team next season.

Rob Dillingham Undergoes Wrist Procedure

Chicago Bulls point guard Rob Dillingham recently underwent successful minor surgery to have a ganglion cyst removed from his right wrist, the team announced on Wednesday. Dillingham battled this issue late in the year, but he will have the entire offseason to get to 100 percent for the 2026-27 campaign. The 21-year-old had a strong finish to the season, averaging 13.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in April. However, this happened with Josh Giddey out of the lineup. Tre Jones is another option at point guard for the team. Giddey and Jones both have a contract with the Bulls for next season, making Dillingham's situation murky.

Collin Sexton Cleared to Play Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (finger) is available for Sunday's regular-season finale against Dallas after being listed as probable. The 27-year-old has started four straight games for a depleted roster, averaging 18.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.3 steals in 30.5 minutes during that span. With multiple key players sidelined, Sexton should continue handling a significant offensive role, making him a strong DFS target. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham are also positioned for steady minutes and increased usage in the backcourt rotation.

Josh Giddey Still Out Friday

Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been listed as out for Friday's contest against the Orlando Magic. He will miss a fourth consecutive game as Giddey manages a left hamstring strain. With him out, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton have led the Bulls' backcourt and remain outstanding fantasy options on Friday. The two combined for 58 points in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington. Jones has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games, while Sexton has impressed with a run of three-plus steals in three straight outings.

Collin Sexton Active Against Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (finger) is expected to suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Sexton was previously listed as probable due to a right finger injury but has since been cleared to play. He profiles as a solid streaming option and should see increased usage tonight, especially given his recent play. Over his last nine games, he is averaging 19.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest.

Josh Giddey to Remain Out on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the third game in a row that Giddey will miss due to a hamstring strain. After Thursday, there are only two games left in the regular season, so we'll see if Giddey is available for either of those contests. Tre Jones should continue seeing an increased role in the rotation while Giddey is out. He finished with 20 points and nine assists across 27 minutes of action during Tuesday's game. Jones is looking like a reliable streaming option while Giddey is banged up.

Matas Buzelis to Miss Third Straight Game

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) will officially miss his third game in a row on Thursday. Buzelis will remain sidelined against the Washington Wizards due to a lingering illness. There are only a few games left in the regular season, so it's unclear if Buzelis will play again this season. The continued absence of Buzelis should mean that Leonard Miller keeps getting an extended look in the rotation. The second-year forward finished with 13 points and eight rebounds across 25 minutes of action during Tuesday's game. He figures to be a decent streaming option while Buzelis is out.

Collin Sexton Available on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (finger) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. The 27-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per outing across 64 games this season. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined, Sexton could take on a larger workload in this contest. He profiles as a solid short-term streaming option given the potential for increased usage.

Matas Buzelis Misses Second Straight Game Due to Illness

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, missing a second consecutive game. The 21-year-old hasn't overcome an illness, which knocked him out of the lineup over the weekend. Leonard Miller started in Buzelis' place on Sunday against Phoenix, grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds and scoring 17 points. He looks to be a solid option for fantasy managers again on Tuesday, especially given the matchup. In a starting role, Miller has averaged 12.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game.

Josh Giddey Out on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will miss Tuesday's juicy fantasy matchup against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old is managing a left hamstring injury and won't be part of the Bulls' lineup for the third time in four games. Collin Sexton (finger) is expected to make another start on Tuesday night. He has averaged 15.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in a starting role this season. Giddey's absence also raises the fantasy ceiling for Tre Jones, who led the Bulls with 29 points in Sunday's 120-110 loss to Phoenix.

Matas Buzelis Out Sunday, Leonard Miller Joins Starting Lineup

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The 21-year-old has been ruled out due to illness. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined, the Bulls will have two new starters on Sunday. Collin Sexton will join Tre Jones in the backcourt, while Leonard Miller will be Buzelis' replacement. Miller has been one of Chicago's best players in recent weeks, and a starting role will further elevate his fantasy value. In seven starts, Miller has posted averages of 11.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Josh Giddey Won't Play Against Suns

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will miss Sunday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. He has managed a hamstring injury for several weeks and will be absent for the second time in three games. Meanwhile, Collin Sexton (finger) has been cleared to play and will be one of the players benefiting from Giddey's absence. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham are also expected to pick up extra work in the backcourt. Sexton, who led the team with 19 points in Friday's defeat to New York, figures to form the starting backcourt with Jones on Sunday.

Nick Richards Remains Sidelined Friday, Guerschon Yabusele Will Play

Chicago Bulls center Nick Richards (elbow) will remain out on Friday against the New York Knicks. Chicago has downgraded his status from questionable to out, meaning Richards will miss a fifth consecutive contest. Fortunately for the Bulls. Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is good to go after initially carrying a questionable tag. He has been solid as a starter in recent games and should have a chip on his shoulder in Friday's game against the Knicks, who barely used him this season and traded him in February.

Tre Jones  • PG  •  Bulls  |  Josh Giddey  • SG  •  Bulls

Josh Giddey, Tre Jones Available Friday

Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (ankle) will be in action against the New York Knicks on Friday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report but were upgraded to probable around noon. Giddey will return from a one-game absence, while Jones is ready to make his 22nd straight appearance. The two have performed well as Chicago's starting backcourt duo and will try to outshine Jalen Brunson on Friday night.

Tre Jones  • PG  •  Bulls

Tre Jones Could Miss Friday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, while Josh Giddey (hamstring) is also on the injury report. If either guard is out, Collin Sexton could see another start after finishing with 18 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes last game. Sexton is averaging 20.4 points, 2.6 three-pointers, and 3.2 assists over his last five games and looks like a solid points streamer. Rob Dillingham may also see increased minutes as a deep-league option.

Josh Giddey Could Sit Again Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, and his status could again affect the Bulls' backcourt rotation. Giddey missed Wednesday's contest, opening the door for Collin Sexton to post 18 points with one three-pointer, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block across 26 minutes. Sexton is averaging 20.4 points and 2.6 triples over his last five games and shapes up as a viable streamer if Giddey or Tre Jones (ankle) sits. Rob Dillingham could also see an expanded role. If cleared to play, Giddey remains a firm hold in all formats.

Josh Giddey Sidelined on Wednesday

According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Giddey was added late to the injury report and will miss his first game since March 5 due to left hamstring tightness. The 23-year-old's next chance to play is against the Knicks on Friday. Rob Dillingham could take on extra minutes with Giddey out of action this evening. The 21-year-old has averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per outing across 23 appearances since joining the Bulls.
