Huerter recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three assists over 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 victory over the Wizards.
Huerter logged 19 minutes despite dealing with an illness, scoring in single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite a serviceable start to the campaign, Heurter's role appears to be reducing, largely due to the fact that Coby White is back in the lineup. He will continue to battle players like Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu for backup minutes.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Available to play
Rotowire
Huerter (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
While Huerter is feeling under the weather, he was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll gut it out for Saturday's game. The Bulls will be without Isaac Okoro (back) and Patrick Williams (wrist), so Huerter could see increased playing time Saturday.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Will try to play Saturday
Rotowire
Huerter (illness) will "try" to play Saturday against the Wizards, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Huerter is dealing with an illness, but he'll go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Saturday's game. He's essentially a game-time call, but if he's unable to give it a go, Julian Phillips could see a significant bump in minutes.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Under the weather
Rotowire
Huerter is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to an illness.
It's been a rough 24 hours for Huerter. First, he was benched Friday night in favor of Ayo Dosunmu, and then the sharpshooter was ejected from the loss to Miami after throwing the ball toward a ref. Now, Huerter is under the weather and in danger of missing his first game of the season.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Bumped to bench
Rotowire
Huerter isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Season-low two points
Rotowire
Huerter closed Wednesday's 122-121 victory over the Trail Blazers with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes.
Huerter remained in the starting lineup, although he produced his worst performance of the season. While it has been a solid start for Huerter, his arrow is beginning to point in the wrong direction. The return of Coby White has resulted in two poor performances by Huerter, an indication that he could be an expendable fantasy asset at some point in the near future.

Rotowire
Huerter had 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Monday's 130-127 win over the Nuggets.
Huerter has been on a tear for the Bulls, but he may struggle to keep producing like this once the team gets healthier -- Tre Jones missed his second game in a row with an ankle issue and Coby White was rested for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last five outings, Huerter has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Huerter recorded 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 win over the 76ers.
Huerter managed to bounce back from a sluggish seven-point game Sunday against the Knicks, though he wasn't all that efficient shooting the basketball. He also drilled a pair of triples, marking the third time in seven matchups this season that he has hit two or more threes. Huerter will continue to be leaned on to provide scoring off the bench for the Bulls.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Tallies double-digits again
Rotowire

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.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Adds 11 points off bench
Rotowire
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 racked up 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over the Heat.
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. The veteran guard had endured a rough start to the season with the Kings, but he's flourished since being traded to Chicago. 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.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Out against Cleveland
Rotowire
Huerter won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers due to a right cervical strain.
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.
