Chicago Bulls injury report
4 players on the current report.
CHI · Toe · 2026-11-04
This is a tough blow for the Bulls as they will be without their starting center for the first seven games of the regular season. Meanwhile, Zach Collins' (toe) status remains in the air. This could set up Jalen Smith for a solid workload to open the season.
- Isaac OkoroDay-To-Day
CHI · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
The Bulls have not yet revealed exactly what Okoro is dealing with, but he didn't practice Tuesday, and this will be his second straight game on the sidelines. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener in Toronto.
- Tobe AwakaDay-To-Day
CHI · Knee · 2026-10-21
Awaka will miss Chicago's final two preseason games due to the knee injury, but for what it's worth, head coach Tiago Splitter said he's "close" to a return. The Bulls open their season on Oct. 21 in Toronto, and for now, Awaka should be considered questionable for that one.
- Zach CollinsDay-To-Day
CHI · Toe · 2026-10-21
Collins was able to practice Monday and indicated that his toe responded well. He missed the entire preseason and could potentially face restrictions early on. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) set to miss two weeks, Collins and Jalen Smith could see the bulk of the center minutes.
