The 23-25 Chicago Bulls will look to, well, lose a fourth straight contest on Saturday night as they continue their three-game mini-series against the 26-23 Miami Heat. That’s because the Bulls are sitting several key players for the first game of a back-to-back Miami slate. Or maybe they’re sitting people to preserve their bodies ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. Who can say?
According to a recent NBA injury report , Chicago will be missing a boatload of players against Miami on Saturd...

K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network notes that all three of Chicago’s two-way players were sighted at Saturday’s pre-game team shootaround, indicating that they may all be active in lieu of several other bodies .
Beyond recent injury report mainstays Zach Collins (right first toe sprain) and Tre Jones (left hamstring strain), the Bulls could also be without Josh...

The Houston Rockets could use an on-ball facilitating guard. Everybody talks about it. By all intents and purposes, Rafael Stone and co. are trying to address that need by the trade deadline. It seems clear that they’ve been working the phones, at the very least. Lately they’ve been engaged in trade talks with the Chicago […]

The Miami Heat managed to survive a valiant closing effort from the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Thursday. Both clubs were without key guards. The Heat were missing All-Star shooting guard Tyler Herro, while Chicago point guard Josh Giddey sat out on the second night of a back-to-back set.
Miami, despite carrying a middling 10-15 road record into the clash (against a 15-10 Bulls home record), managed to prevail, behind a balanced attack. Seven Heat players finished in double figu...

In their first of three-straight against one another, the Miami Heat secured a 116-113 win over the Chicago Bulls inside United Center. It didn’t come without some late-game jitters. Ahead by 10 with 3:15 left, three-straight Ayo Dosumnu buckets quickly made it a one-possession game. Dosunmu made it a one-point game with 10 seconds left. […]

The Detroit Pistons are 8-2 in their last 10 games and now boast a 34-11 record — six games ahead of the 29-18 New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, the conference’s respective Nos. 2 and 3 seeds. They’re running away with the Eastern Conference, despite one big weakness: shooting.
That’s where Chicago Bulls combo guard Coby White could come in.
Evan Sidery of Forbes reports that the Pistons, who currently have a $14.3 million trade exception, are contemplating a potential deal for Whi...

The Chicago Bulls have done it again! On Wednesday, playing the first night of a back-to-back, they allowed the lowly Indiana Pacers to snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory.
Indiana mounted a stunning fourth-quarter rally, outscoring Chicago 26-9 during the last 7:13 of regulation to steal a rare win in what has generally been a 2025-26 season to forget.
Although the Pacers are just 12-36 on the year, three of those victories have come against our hapless Bulls. Chicago has now d...

Man… has anyone else’s timeline been absolutely flooded with trade rumors today, or is it just me?
From Giannis Antetokounmpo to Trey Murphy, everybody caught a stray. Fortunately for the Bulls, Nikola Vučević’s name was in the mix too, and unfortunately for the Bulls, it involved a trade that went absolutely nowhere.

Could Giannis Antetokounmpo land on the Chicago Bulls this season, after all? A new Wednesday report from Shams Charania of ESPN suggests that, while the two-time MVP hasn’t outright demanded a trade, the 10-time All-Star Milwaukee Bucks power forward is “ready for a new home” as soon as this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline.
Sources inform Charania that the Bucks are finally amenable to moving off Antetokounmpo. The injured 31-year-old big man finds himself trapped in an absolutely hopeles...

With a little more than a week remaining until this season’s Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, rumors are swirling about how the Chicago Bulls intend to handle their seven expiring contracts — eight if you count Julian Phillips’ team option for 2026-27, which seems unlikely to be picked up. And the Bulls’ intentions before the trade deadline are suddenly mixed.
Weeks ago, word on the street was that Chicago president Arturas Karnisovas was finally going to sell his veterans this year. However, e...

Another day, another chance to get over .500.
Yesterday, a report surfaced saying the Chicago Bulls are now interested in making a playoff push . A team that wasn’t too long ago labeled as sellers is now, apparently, shifting into buyer mode.
Well, if that’s truly the vision the front office has for this group, it starts tonight.
The Indiana Pacers are the worst team in the Eastern Conference, playing the second game in three nights, with very little incentive to win. And yet — ...

The thoroughly mid Chicago Bulls seem doomed for the play-in tournament yet again — which means, most likely, another pre-playoff loss and another shot at the lottery.
Then again, when facing a loaded 2026 NBA Draft, that’s not such a bad thing. Assuming the Portland Trail Blazers make the playoffs, the Bulls would add their first-round pick, too. Per Tankathon , the 23-23 Bulls are currently projected at the end of the lottery with the No. 14 pick. Of course, the fun of a draft lottery i...

Earlier this month, Chicago Bulls team president Arturas Karnisovas was apparently poised to make his squad the Eastern Conference’s “biggest sellers” at this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline. This week, the Bulls are… going to be buyers?
This is the kind of overreaction that one can expect out of the least competent current front office leader this side of maybe Kings GM Scott Perry, who apparently has been inspired by Chicago’s recent four-game win streak to jettison assets and equity in ...

It’s been a blast-from-the-past kind of week in Chicago. From Derrick Rose returning to the city to a wave of former Bulls reuniting in the Windy City, the nostalgia meter if going off. Now, another familiar face from one of basketball’s most iconic eras is stepping back into the spotlight, this time in a very different way.

Derrick Rose at the United Center. LeBron James still terrorizing the Chicago Bulls. We’re back in 2012 again, aren’t we?
Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers put on an offensive masterclass against Chicago, knocking the Bulls back to a .500 record. But there’s a jam-packed week ahead.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
There’s a lot you can blame for the loss last night. The inability to stop Luka Dončić from… anything (he put up 46 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds) . Or failin...
