Middleton closed Sunday's 149-128 victory over the Bulls with eight points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across six minutes.

Middleton logged just six minutes with the Mavericks, pulling most of their starters early. Since his trade from Washington, Middleton made 29 appearances for the Mavericks with averages of 10.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 21.1 minutes per contest. The veteran will now hit the open market as a free agent.

Christie racked up 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two blocks across 13 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 victory over the Bulls.

The Mavericks pulled the plug early in this contest with their key players and still walked away with the win. Christie played a key role for the Mavericks in 2025-26, posting averages of 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 29.1 minutes across 74 regular-season appearances.

Gueye posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

Gueye, who signed with the Bulls in late April, ended up with two appearances and averages of 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.7 minutes per contest. He spent most of the season with the Windy City Bulls in the G League, where he averaged 14.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.0 minutes per contest.

Miller accumulated 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

Following his trade from Minnesota, Miller's NBA career took off. He made a total of 27 appearances for the rebuilding Bulls, posting averages of 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest. He may have earned himself a spot in the rotation for Opening Night in 2026-27 depending on what the Bulls do this offseason.

McClung contributed 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

After signing a one-year, two-way contract with the Bulls in February, McClung got a chance to show what he's capable of at the NBA level down the stretch. The explosive guard still averaged just 6.0 points, 1.1 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per tilt through eight games for Chicago this season, so McClung is more likely to open next year with a G League club rather than an NBA team.

Kawamura supplied 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to Dallas.

With the Bulls' backcourt battling injuries all year long, Chicago signed Kawamura to a one-year, two-way contract to help shore things up in January. The point guard averaged 3.4 points, 2.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per tilt over 18 games this season. Kawamura is likely to be in search of another two-way opportunity this offseason, whether it be with Chicago or elsewhere.

Jones posted six points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

The Bulls had nothing to play for in this contest, so the Bulls dialed back Jones' minutes. The veteran guard had a successful campaign in Chicago, posting averages of 14.1 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest. In nine-category fantasy formats, Jones was a seventh-round value on a per-game basis.

Williams totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to Dallas.

The 2020 first-rounder finished up another pretty disappointing campaign for the Bulls. Williams averaged 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 72 games (six starts) this season, shooting a career-low 37.2 percent from the field. Williams is under contract for 2026-27 and appears ticketed for a reserve role on the wing once more.

Quickley (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Quickley wasn't able to return to Sunday's game against the Nets due to right hamstring tightness, but an MRI revealed a mild strain. The Raptors are off until April 18 against the Cavaliers, and for the time being, he can be considered questionable for that contest.

Williamson logged 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to Houston.

Williamson helped soak up playing time for the Grizzlies on a pair of two-way deals in March and April. He averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.0 minutes per tilt through seven games this season, which could offer Williamson some attention this offseason for clubs in search of backcourt depth.
