Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Jerome is in line for his fifth straight absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The fact that he's been ruled out a full day ahead of Wednesday's game is likely a sign that he's not all that close to a return. With only six games remaining in the regular season after Wednesday, it's unknown if he'll get healthy in time to appear down the stretch, especially with little to play for.

Richards (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Richards missed the Bulls' last three games because of a sprained right elbow. If he is ruled out heading into Wednesday's contest, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle), who is also questionable, would be in line to start. However, if both players don't suit up, Leonard Miller would likely start the game in the middle, with rookie Lachlan Olbrich coming in for relief.

McClung (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

McClung missed the G League Windy City Bulls' regular-season finale due to a right hamstring issue but is set to be available for the parent club against Indiana. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor for Chicago.

Yabusele is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a sprained left ankle.

Yabusele continues to be bothered by the injury and could go through pregame warmups Wednesday before Chicago updates his playing status. Nick Richards (elbow) is also questionable, so the depleted Bulls frontcourt could be down to Leonard Miller and Lachlan Olbrich as the last men standing at the center position.

Simons (wrist) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Simons remains sidelined while on the mend from a fractured left wrist. He can be considered doubtful for Chicago's next matchup Friday in New York.

Broome (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Broome went under the knife at the end of February to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, and the Sixers have yet to provide much of an update on a timeline for his return. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated one month from his surgery date, so more information could come to light in the coming days. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Friday's matchup against Minnesota.

The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that Wells (toe) underwent a successful procedure to stabilize his right great toe and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign.

Wells won't return this season after undergoing a procedure to repair a tendon avulsion fracture, though he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The 22-year-old appeared in 69 regular-season games in his sophomore season, starting all of them and finishing with averages of 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from deep across 26.4 minutes per contest.

Davis (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and remains without a clear timetable for a return. Considering the Wizards own a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising to see the star big man miss the remainder of the season. For now, he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the club offers an update on his progress.

George (elbow) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The team has yet to provide much of an update on his timeline for a return, and there doesn't seem to be much sense in rushing him back for the final few games of the regular season. George can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game in Miami until further notice.

Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Young isn't yet ready to return after suffering a right quadriceps injury. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday in Miami.
