Bulls vs Bucks

Anfernee Simons

CHI · SG

Wrist: Simons' season will officially come to an end as he continues to recover from a fractured left wrist that has kept him sidelined since Feb. 21. Head coach Billy Donovan confirmed Friday that Simons-along with Josh Giddey, Guerschon Yabusele, Nick Richards, and Jalen Smith-will be held out for the Bulls' final two matchups against the Magic and Mavericks. With Simons officially shut down for the weekend, Collin Sexton (finger) and Rob Dillingham will continue to handle increased workloads in the backcourt to close out the campaign.

Bobby Portis

MIL · PF

Wrist: Expect major minutes for Jericho Sims and Ousmane Dieng Sunday evening as the last men standing in Milwaukee's frontcourt. Portis will end his 2025-26 season with averages of 13.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per game.

Gary Harris

MIL · SG

Groin: Harris will end the regular season with a second straight absence due to a right groin issue. The veteran wing appeared in 48 regular-season games (two starts), averaging 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 13.8 minutes per game. He holds a $3.82 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign.

Gary Trent Jr.

MIL · SF

Oblique: This will be Trent's second straight game on the sidelines. AJ Green and Cormac Ryan will continue to pick up the slack in his absence.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL · PF

Knee: Milwaukee is expected to maintain a massive asking price centered around elite young talent and draft capital, while rival teams are already preparing aggressive offers ahead of the draft. With Antetokounmpo reportedly still believing "the time has come" to move on, the focus now shifts to which contenders are willing to meet the Bucks' demands. The forward is essentially on an expiring contract with next season guaranteed in his deal before a player option in 2027, so he does hold some leverage in choosing his next destination.

Guerschon Yabusele

CHI · PF

Shoulder: Yabusele sustained a left shoulder sprain and a left elbow sprain in Thursday's win over the Wizards and will not return this season. The big man will finish the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.0 minutes per game across 67 regular-season appearances (19 starts) between Chicago and New York.

Isaac Okoro

CHI · SF

Quadriceps: Okoro will miss his third straight game as the Bulls' season comes to an end. The 25-year-old will end his 2025-26 season with averages of 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 triples per contest.

Jalen Smith

CHI · PF

Calf: With the Bulls sitting at 29-43 on the season, the team will shut Smith down so he can tend to his lingering calf issue. He put together a solid campaign, appearing in 53 regular-season contests with averages of 10.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.7 minutes per contest.

Josh Giddey

CHI · PG

Ankle: Giddey is scheduled to start basketball activities in approximately three months and is expected to return for the start of training camp, so this is unlikely to impact his stock ahead of fantasy basketball drafts. Across 54 regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2025-26, Giddey averaged 17.0 points, 9.1 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.1 minutes per game.

Kevin Porter

MIL · PG

Knee: As expected, Porter won't return for the remainder of the season after dealing with lingering right knee synovitis that required arthroscopic surgery. The 25-year-old point guard will end the season with averages of 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 33.2 minutes per contest across 38 regular-season outings (36 starts). He holds a $5.39 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign.

Kyle Kuzma

MIL · PF

Achilles: Kuzma will hit the sidelines for Milwaukee's regular-season finale, which will open up minutes for Ousmane Dieng. Kuzma will end his 2025-26 campaign with averages of 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 triples per contest.

Matas Buzelis

CHI · SF

Ankle: With the Bulls playing for Ping Pong balls, Buzelis will hit the sidelines for their regular-season finale. His absence should open up minutes for Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller.

Myles Turner

MIL · C

Ankle: Turner will sit out Milwaukee's regular-season finale, which should result in a start for Jericho Sims. Turner put up eighth-round value in his first season with the Bucks, posting averages of 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 triples and 1.6 blocks per game.

Nick Richards

CHI · C

Elbow: Richards will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign as he continues to recover from a right elbow sprain. Head coach Billy Donovan confirmed Friday that Richards-along with Josh Giddey, Guerschon Yabusele, Jalen Smith, and Anfernee Simons-will be held out for the final two games against the Magic and Mavericks. Richards finishes the season having missed the final 10 games. With Yabusele also ruled out, the Bulls will likely rely on Patrick Williams (thumb) and Lachlan Olbrich (foot) to handle the bulk of the minutes at center.

Noa Essengue

CHI · PF

Shoulder: The No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Essengue's rookie season comes to an end with just two brief appearances to his name. The Bulls had a plan to bring him along slowly, to be clear, and he showed a lot of promise in four G League appearances with averages of 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Pete Nance

MIL · PF

Knee: Head coach Doc Rivers relayed to reporters that Nance is technically available but will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Cormac Ryan, Taurean Prince and Andre Jackson should all see an uptick in playing time due to Nance's absence. Nance started in six of his last nine outings with the Bucks, and over that span he averaged 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 threes over 28.4 minutes per contest.

Rob Dillingham

CHI · PG

Wrist: A timetable was not provided, but this is highly unlikely to impact his status for training camp in September. After his mid-season trade to Chicago, Dillingham made 30 regular-season appearances with 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per contest.

Ryan Rollins

MIL · SG

Thumb: Kevin Porter (knee) and Gary Trent (oblique) will also be unavailable Sunday, so AJ Green and Cormac Ryan should again start and get all the run they can handle. Rollins will finish the season with averages of 17.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.5 triples and 1.5 steals per game.

Zach Collins

CHI · C

Toe: Collins has not played since sustaining the injury against the Bucks on Dec. 27. He was recently reevaluated by medical staff, who determined that season-ending surgery was the best course of action for the veteran big man. Collins was limited to just 10 regular-season games due to injury and averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 threes over 18.4 minutes per game. He will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
