Chicago Bulls forward Julian Phillips (foot) has officially been diagnosed with a sprained right foot and has to be in a walking boot. He's presumed to be out indefinitely as the team didn't give a timetable for his return or even a date when he'd be re-evaluated. The rookie was starting to get some more playing time recently as the Bulls are dealing with a plethora of injuries including Zach LaVine (ankle) and Coby White (hip). Since Phillips wasn't in a prominent role in the rotation, it shouldn't shake it up too much. Onuralp Bitim and Dalen Terry may see some more minutes, but not enough to make them very fantasy-relevant in the meantime.
Julian Phillips Yet To Sign Contract, Won't Play Summer League Opener
Chicago Bulls forward Julian Phillips will not play in the team's Las Vegas Summer League opener because he still hasn't signed his rookie contract with the team, according to Will Gottlieb. Phillips was drafted 35th overall this offseason after the team traded two future second-round picks to get him. There hasn't been any details just yet about why the 19-year-old hasn't signed, but it looks like he'll be sitting out of any Summer League games until that's done.
