Whew, this isn’t so much an injury report as it is an availability monitor. So far, the Chicago Bulls have made six trades, moving Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White, Dalen Terry, Julian Phillips, Kevin Huerter, and Nikola Vucevic, while bringing in several new players. As a result, the report includes designations like “not with team” for traded players and “trade pending” for incoming additions.
Bulls without several players due to injury
First, let’s break down who’s actually injured for the Bulls. Zach Collins remains out with a toe sprain, and his season-long status now hangs in the balance. Josh Giddey continues to sit with a strained hamstring, missing 16 consecutive games, while Tre Jones is also sidelined with a hamstring issue that has kept him out for eight straight contests.
Now, let’s look at who could be making their Bulls debuts. Many trades aren’t official yet—there are financial details and physicals to clear—so even once a deal is finalized, players won’t be able to suit up immediately.
Ivey good to go, Simons a maybe
As for the Bulls’ recent additions, Jaden Ivey is available after being acquired on February 3. The former Detroit Piston attended shootaround and has been listed as probable. Anfernee Simons, acquired just hours after Ivey, was also present at shootaround, but his trade was only made official this morning. He doesn’t appear on the injury report yet, though it’s likely he’ll also be considered probable.
Collin Sexton and Ousmane Dieng, acquired in the Coby White trade, are listed as questionable. Both were traded to Chicago a day after Ivey and Simons, leaving their status less certain. For what it’s worth, this trade has already been made official.
Lastly, recent additions, Guerschon Yabusele, Leonard Miller, and Rob Dillingham are all absent from Chicago’s injury report. Their trades were completed on February 5, so none of them are officially on the roster yet.
Raptors availability updates
The Raptors also made a trade, but their lone acquisition, Chris Paul, is not expected to join the team. Toronto’s move, which sent Ochai Agbaji out to save millions in tax money, left Paul listed with a “not with team" designation.
Finally, Raptors wing RJ Barrett has appeared on the injury report with an injury management designation. The injury is a knee sprain, separate from the ankle issue that sidelined him for seven games in January. With the trade deadline approaching, there’s a chance this designation could mean Barrett is on the move.
