Reid (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Reid will join Rudy Gobert (rest) on the inactive list Friday, leaving additional minutes available for the likes of Joan Beringer, Kyle Anderson and Julian Phillips. Reid's final chance to suit up in the regular season will come Sunday against the Pelicans.

Olbrich (foot) is available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Olbrich is cleared to suit up after amassing two points, seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over the Wizards. With Chicago down Nick Richards (elbow) and Guerschon Yabusele (shoulder/elbow), Olbrich could see even more opportunity.

Okoro (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.

As expected following his doubtful tag, Okoro will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps contusion he suffered on Tuesday. With the Bulls shutting down several rotation players down the stretch, Leonard Miller and Patrick Williams are slated to handle heavy minutes at the forward spots against Orlando. According to head coach Billy Donovan, Okoro is considered a "maybe" to return for Sunday's season finale against the Mavericks.

Williams (thumb) is listed as available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Williams appeared on the injury report because of a thumb injury. However, he is cleared to suit up for Friday's clash with Orlando. The 24-year-old has played well in the last two games, most recently finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.

Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

As expected due to his doubtful tag, Williams will miss his third consecutive contest while continuing to battle an illness. With Williams sidelined and Klay Thompson also out with an illness, the Mavericks' depth will be severely tested on Friday. Ryan Nembhard, AJ Johnson, and John Poulakidas should all see increased opportunities.

Powell (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Powell was initially tagged as questionable due to a hip injury, but the veteran big man has been given the green light to play Friday. He's averaged 17.8 minutes per game over his last eight outings (three starts) and should continue to serve in an elevated role due to the absence of Daniel Gafford (shoulder).

Miller (hand) is available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Miller popped up on the injury report due to a hand injury. However, after being listed as probable heading into the meeting with Orlando, he is now officially good to go. The 22-year-old had a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double with three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.

Wembanyama (ribs) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Wembanyama sustained a left rib contusion in Monday's win over the 76ers but will return to action Friday following a one-game absence. With the star big man back in action, Luke Kornet is expected to slide to the second unit. Wembanyama has averaged 27.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.1 steals across 28.2 minutes per showing over his last 10 appearances.

Washington (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

As anticipated following his doubtful tag, Washington will be sidelined for a third consecutive contest due to a left elbow sprain. With Washington, Klay Thompson (illness) and Naji Marshall (hip) officially ruled out, the Mavericks are dealing with a severely depleted frontcourt. Expect Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to see significant boosts in playing time and usage against San Antonio.

Sexton (finger) is listed as available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Sexton was in danger of missing this contest, but he is officially cleared to suit up. The 27-year-old is coming off one of his best performances of the 2025-26 campaign, finishing with 27 points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 34 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.
