Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (ankle) is expected to be on the court when the team hosts Luka Doncic and the Mavericks on Monday. After recently missing time with a knee injury, Craig is now dealing with a right ankle sprain. However, it appears to be a very mild one, as the team has listed the veteran as probable for Monday's game. Craig has logged only 27 total minutes across two games since returning to the lineup and doesn't currently have a big part to play in the ways Chicago operates. The 33-year-old has averaged 20.6 minutes for the season, putting up 5.9 points with 4.6 rebounds.

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah. He was initially on the injury report as doubtful but will end up missing a seventh consecutive game. The versatile veteran won't have to wait long for his next chance to return, as the Bulls also have a game scheduled for Thursday versus Golden State. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has said there is "some optimism" that Craig can play against the Warriors. The 33-year-old has averaged 6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 21.0 minutes in his first season as a Bull.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dalen Terry (personal) won't be available for Wednesday's matchup against Utah. He has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a personal matter. Terry has only played a small role for the Bulls, averaging 10.1 minutes, and didn't leave the bench despite being available in the last game against Sacramento, so his absence shouldn't disrupt the team in any way. His first chance to return to the lineup comes on Thursday versus Golden State.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is still unable to sprint as he continues to rehab his left knee. "I don't know if he's stuck," said Bulls head coach Billy Donovan on Tuesday. "He is doing some shooting, some running, some jumping. He hasn't done any sprinting yet, that I know." Donovan added, "They talked about that, and [sprinting] was kind of a goal, a set point. I do think the one thing that has been a priority right now, so he does not get set back, is he needs to develop more strength in his leg." Ball last played in the NBA in January 2022.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (back) will play on Monday against Toronto. He returned to action from a four-game absence on Sunday versus Dallas and is good to go again against the Raptors, despite being initially regarded as questionable for the game with lower back spasms. Smith is a very effective player but typically doesn't receive a lot of playing time behind Indiana's starting center Myles Turner. He had eight points and five rebounds in 19 minutes in his only previous appearance against the Raptors this season.
