Huerter closed with 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 135-125 victory over the Knicks.
Huerter scored double-digits for the fifth straight game to begin the season, providing the undefeated Bulls with a viable scoring threat off the bench. Over that five-game period, Huerter is averaging 14.2 points per game, adding 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks. Coby White is nearing a return after missing the start of the season with a calf injury. Upon his return, the coaching staff will have some decisions to make, one of which is where Huerter fits in the rotation moving forward.
Huerter chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 victory over the Magic.
Huerter struggled to get his shot working from beyond the arc, but it didn't stop him from scoring in double figures. He's been fairly aggressive on the offensive end through two games this season, attempting 21 total shots from the field while securing 12 rebounds in two straight wins for the Bulls. Expect Huerter to continue firing, especially with a pair of strong facilitators in Josh Giddey and Tre Jones feeding him the ball.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Practices Monday
Rotowire
Huerter (groin) participated in Monday's practice, and he's trending towards making his preseason debut Thursday versus the Timberwolves, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Huerter has yet to play this preseason due to a groin injury, but he continues to ramp up his workload at practices, and it sounds like he could get out there for Thursday's preseason finale. That said, he'll likely be operating in a secondary role for the Bulls this season, so we wouldn't anticipate him making much noise in standard fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Huerter closed with 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 win over Philadelphia.
Huerter recorded a team-high mark in points during the regular-season finale. Additionally, the 26-year-old knocked down a team-best five triples, sinking at least five three-pointers for the eighth time this season. Huerter made 69 regular-season appearances between Chicago and Sacramento, finishing with averages of 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks across 24.3 minutes per contest.

Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic were among the best players for the Bulls in this game, but there's no question Huerter made his presence felt on offense as well.

He's started in 14 of his 24 games with the Bulls, averaging 13.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.

This appears to be a new injury for Huerter, but it remains to be seen if this is just a maintenance day on the front end of the back-to-back set. The Bulls are going to be very shorthanded Tuesday, as Coby White will be rested, Lonzo Ball (wrist) is out and Nikola Vucevic (rest) is questionable.
