Phillips (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

With Kevin Huerter (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (back) unavailable Wednesday night, Phillips could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. He might be worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Phillips (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Phillips needs to be officially cleared but may receive a slight bump in minutes Wednesday due to injuries to Coby White (calf), Kevin Huerter (hamstring), Isaac Okoro (back), Jalen Smith (hamstring) and Dalen Terry (calf). Phillips recorded a season-high 20 minutes Monday in Orlando, posting 10 points and three rebounds, and may be leaned on again with the Bulls banged up.

Phillips (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.

Phillips is in jeopardy of missing his second straight game due to an illness. If he's ultimately ruled out, Kevin Huerter and Patrick Williams are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Phillips (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Phillips was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and won't see the floor for the first time since Opening Night. With the Bulls having a busy injury report, Kevin Huerter, Jevon Carter and Patrick Williams are likely to see increased playing time.

Phillips is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.

Phillips doesn't have much of a role in the Bulls' rotation, so his absence shouldn't have a big impact in fantasy. He's averaging a career-low 7.9 minutes per game this season.

Phillips chipped in no counting stats in two minutes during Friday's 123-116 loss to the Hornets.

Phillips barely saw the floor Friday, continuing what has been a disappointing season. Despite playing in all 17 games thus far, he is averaging a mere 2.2 points in 7.9 minutes per contest, leaving him well off the fantasy radar across all formats.

Phillips posted four points (2-2 FG) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 victory over the Wizards.

Phillips played limited minutes off the bench, a trend that seems as though it is here to stay. As the Bulls start to get healthy players back on the court, Phillips could even find himself out of the rotation at times. In 15 appearances this season, he is averaging 2.0 points in 7.8 minutes.

Phillips logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in nine minutes during Monday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs.

Phillips has not scored since Oct. 27 and has yet to see the court for more than 10 minutes in a game this season. He is firmly behind Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams and Kevin Huerter on the depth chart and will only see more playing time if one of them doesn't play.

Phillips (back) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Phillips is dealing with lower back tightness on his left side but has appeared in three straight games. Phillips has averaged 2.3 points in 7.0 minutes this season. Though active, don't expect the 2023 second-round pick to crack the regular rotation soon.

Phillips (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Phillips is dealing with lower back tightness on his left side, though he's likely to play Sunday. Over four regular-season appearances, the 21-year-old forward has averaged 2.3 points in 7.3 minutes per game.

Phillips posted 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Thursday's 126-120 preseason win over Minnesota.

After missing three straight preseason games, Phillips returned to action Thursday and finished as Chicago's second leading scorer. The 2023 second-round pick averaged 14.2 minutes per game for the Bulls last season, appearing in 79 regular-season contests (five starts).

Phillips (knee) is available for Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Phillips (knee) didn't play in Tuesday's 124-117 preseason loss to the Nuggets.

Phillips didn't practice Monday and ultimately missed his third consecutive preseason game due to knee soreness Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's preseason finale against the Timberwolves.

Phillips (knee) did not practice Monday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Phillips has missed the past two exhibition games for Chicago, and it looks like that number will hit three for Tuesday's game in Denver. Phillips will have a negligible role in the Bulls' rotation to start the season, so he can safely be ignored in most leagues.

Phillips (knee) will not play in Sunday's exhibition against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Phillips will miss a second straight exhibition and it's unclear how severe the injury is. His next chance to play comes in Tuesday's exhibition against Denver.

Phillips ended Friday's 119-89 win over the Wizards with 23 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes.

Phillips entered the starting five Friday due to Josh Giddey (forearm) being out and capitalized on the increased playing time by tallying a season-high 23 points. Phillips also was one rebound shy of his first double-double of the campaign. Across his four starts this season, Phillips has posted 48.0/40.0/90.0 shooting splits.

Phillips will start Friday's game against the Wizards.

With Josh Giddey (forearm) sidelined, Phillips will get a spot start. In his previous three starts this season, Phillips has totaled 16 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and a steal in 65 minutes.

Phillips (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game versus Portland.

Phillips was previously listed as questionable for this contest. He's been a minimal part of the rotation lately, averaging 1.8 points and 1.0 boards in 11.6 minutes over his last five games.

Phillips (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Phillips is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a right quad contusion. The 21-year-old forward has averaged 4.6 points and 2.2 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances. If Phillips remains on the shelf, Talen Horton-Tucker and Patrick Williams will likely receive an uptick in playing time off the bench, especially if Dalen Terry (calf) is ruled out as well.

Phillips is out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with a right quadriceps contusion, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

His next chance to play won't come until Friday against Portland, giving Phillips some time to recover. Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams should split the minutes at power forward Tuesday in Phillips' absence.

Phillips is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with a right quadriceps contusion.

This sounds like a minor issue for Phillips, but the Bulls may play it safe on the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Phillips can't go, the Bulls could potentially give E.J. Liddell a look in the rotation.

Phillips ended Thursday's 128-116 win over the Kings with two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes.

Phillips started the second half of this game, and he saw plenty of action with Josh Giddey (ankle) sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury management. Phillips has played 20.2 minutes per game over his last six contests, posting averages of 6.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Phillips racked up 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Nets.

Phillips posted career-high marks in points, rebounds and assists Thursday. The 21-year-old led the second unit in points in the win, and he recorded just his sixth outing scoring in double figures this season. Additionally, the second-year forward connected on multiple triples for the ninth time over 64 regular-season appearances. Phillips has averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 20.7 minutes per game over six outings in March.

Phillips contributed nine points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over Indiana.

Phillips was in a brutal slump coming into Monday's game, so this performance was a step in the right direction. Fantasy managers will need to see this become a trend before jumping onboard, however. Over his last eight games, Phillips has averaged 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds on 37.9 percent shooting from the field.

Phillips finished Sunday's 127-112 loss to the Pacers with three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 20 minutes.

Despite a multitude of injuries hitting Chicago's starting lineup in addition to Zach LaVine's departure, Phillips hasn't seen an opportunity in the starting lineup since Dec. 30. Through six games following the All-Star break, Phillips has averaged 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes while shooting just 39.3 percent from the floor. While the 2023 second-rounder should remain a stable member of the rotation, his fantasy value is likely to stay muted.

Phillips notched 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Phillips logged season highs in points and rebounds Thursday, playing 20 or more minutes for the first time since Dec. 5. The 21-year-old has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, during which he has logged only five outings with double-digit points. Over his last five appearances, Phillips has averaged 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per contest.

Phillips chipped in one rebound, one block and one steal over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Pistons.

Phillips failed to score as the Bulls fell to their fourth straight loss. Despite making very few moves at the trade deadline, the Bulls' efforts to secure a play-in spot could be fruitless given their recent play. Phillips has been a regular in the rotation but typically plays fewer than 15 minutes.

Phillips finished Wednesday's 127-108 loss to the Timberwolves with two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and one block across 17 minutes.

Phillips offered very little in the loss, providing basically nothing on both ends of the court despite playing 17 minutes. With season averages of 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game, it's hard to envisage him stepping into a meaningful role any time soon.

Phillips closed with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two assists in six minutes during Monday's 129-121 victory over the Nuggets.

Phillips continues to play a limited role off the bench, logging fewer than 10 minutes for the third time in the past five games. Although he has appeared in 46 games thus far, he is only averaging 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

Phillips had 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-94 loss to the Hawks.

Phillips made up for scoring zero points in Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans by tying his season-high point total in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks. The 21-year-old forward has scored 10 points off the bench four times this season as he continues to improve in the scoring department with more time on the floor for the Bulls.

The Bulls recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

Phillips will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Phillips tallied 18 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes during Friday's 98-95 loss to the Texas Legends.

The Bulls assigned Phillips to the Windy City Bulls of the G League on Friday.

Phillips has been a consistent part of Chicago's rotation, averaging 4.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.1 minutes across his last 10 outings. However, the 21-year-old forward will have the opportunity to receive increased playing time while in the G League.

Phillips isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Phillips drew the start Monday against Charlotte in place of Zach LaVine, who was absent with a toe injury, but played just 11 minutes. With LaVine healthy, Phillips will return to his typical reserve role. On the year, Phillips is averaging 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds across 13.9 minutes per game.

Phillips will start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

With Zach LaVine (toe) sidelined, Phillips will get his third start of the season. The 21-year-old has played a reduced role over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per contest.

Phillips produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto.

With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined and Josh Giddey (ankle) leaving the contest early, Phillips tied his season high with 10 points, a mark he hadn't reached since Nov. 9. Phillips' role has been inconsistent this season, but he gets minutes when the Bulls are shorthanded, though he hasn't produced enough to be relevant in standard fantasy leagues.

Phillips is not in the Bulls' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Phillips has started in the Bulls' last two games and averaged 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over 27.0 minutes per game over that span. However, he will retreat to the bench for Friday's game as Coby White returns from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.

Phillips is in the Bulls' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets.

The 2023 second-round pick out of Tennessee will make his first-career NBA start Monday due to Patrick Williams (foot) and Coby White (ankle) being sidelined. Phillips averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds over 13.7 minutes per game across 15 outings in November.

Phillips (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards.

Phillips has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing Chicago's previous outing due to an illness. Phillips should continue to operate as a bench option in the Bulls' forward rotation.

Phillips (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Phillips is expected to return to the rotation after missing Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness, his first absence of the season. Phillips is averaging 13.5 minutes per game but has scored in double figures only once this season.

Phillips (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Phillips will miss his first game of the 2024-25 regular season due to an illness, and his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Wizards. Torrey Craig and Matas Buzelis are candidates to see increased playing time Saturday with Phillips sidelined.

Phillips is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to an upper respiratory illness.

Phillips is in danger of missing his first contest of the season Saturday due to an illness. If the 21-year-old forward is unable to suit up, Torrey Craig and Matas Buzelis are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Phillips registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across seven minutes during Friday's 136-122 win over the Hawks.

Phillips played fewer than 15 minutes for the eighth time in the past nine games, during which time he has scored double-digits only once. With modest averages of just 4.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 13.5 minutes per game, it is unlikely we see Phillips moving into a significant role anytime soon.

Phillips totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 16 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to the Jazz.

Phillips has been a steady presence in Chicago's shallow forward rotation, averaging 14.1 minutes and playing in all seven games. He hasn't provided much offensively but is averaging 1.0 steals in his limited action.

Phillips (ribs) will play in Friday's preseason matchup versus the Cavaliers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Phillips missed Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves after sustaining a rib contusion Monday. The 20-year-old is expected to be a full-go for the start of the regular season, and the injury is not likely to limit his playing time.

Phillips (ribs) will not play in Wednesday's preseason affair versus the Timberwolves, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Phillips will be sidelined due to a rib contusion, which forced him to exit Monday's preseason game versus Milwaukee. Chicago's frontcourt will be fully healthy Wednesday with the exception of the second-year forward.

Phillips (ribs) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. He amassed 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 12 minutes.

Phillips left the game during the second quarter after getting tangled up with Gary Trent, and the severity of his injury is unknown. Phillips hit the floor hard, though he briefly stayed in the game before heading back to the locker room. The 20-year-old will have two more chances to suit up again before the end of the preseason, with his next opportunity coming Wednesday against Minnesota.

Phillips (undisclosed) went back to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Gary Trent and Phillips got tangled up with the latter hitting the deck hard. The 20-year-old's status is currently unknown, but he was able to briefly remain in the game so his trip back to the locker room is likely just a precaution. If Phillips' night is over, he will end with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 12 minutes.

Phillips will enter the starting lineup in Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks.

With Patrick Williams (wrist) out, Phillips will get the start at power forward Monday. The 20-year-old impressed off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies, during which he amassed 21 points and eight rebounds while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and an extremely efficient 5-for-8 from downtown.

Phillips posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and an assist across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 124-121 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

Zach LaVine was the best player for the Bulls by a wide margin, but Phillips certainly turned a few heads with his play off the bench. The former Tennessee standout is a long shot to make the Opening Night roster, and even if he does, he's not expected to play a significant role as a depth option in both forward roles. Phillips averaged 8.1 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24.

Phillips (foot) said Sunday that he's completed his rehab and feels 100 percent, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he seems to be fully recovered. Phillips appeared in 40 games for Chicago as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points over 8.1 minutes.

Phillips (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

Phillips continues to deal with a right mid foot sprain and will be unavailable as the Bulls attempt to secure the No. 8 seed Friday. Even if the Bulls advance to the first round of the playoffs, it seems unlikely that Phillips will be able to return.

Phillips (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Hawks.

Phillips missed the final 16 games of the regular season due to a right midfoot sprain and doesn't have a timetable to return. Barring the Bulls making a surprise run in the postseason, Phillips' 2023-24 campaign is likely over.

Phillips (foot) is out for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

Phillips hasn't played since March 13 due to a right foot sprain and will remain out for the Bulls' regular-season finale Sunday. There is no indication that Phillips will be available for Chicago's Play-In game.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Friday that Phillips (foot) is still "in and out" of a walking boot and is without a timeline for a re-evaluation, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He hasn't been on the court or done anything physical yet," Donovan said. "So it's hard to say whether he would be available, and when he is available, when that would even be until I can at least know that he's on the court."

Phillips was diagnosed with the foot injury March 15 and missed his 10th straight game in Monday's loss to the Hawks on account of the issue. Donovan's comments suggest that Phillips' return to game action isn't imminent, and even if the rookie forward is able to ditch the boot for good within the next week, he would still require a ramp-up period to regain conditioning. Phillips hasn't been ruled out for the season, but a return for the Bulls' April 14 finale versus the Knicks would appear unlikely at this point.

The Bulls announced Friday that Phillips has been diagnosed with a right foot sprain and is out indefinitely.

The Bulls didn't provide a return timetable, saying Phillips' status will be updated as appropriate, but given the rookie is in a walking boot, he'll likely be sidelined for at least a few weeks. Chicago's wings can't stay healthy, as Phillips now joins Patrick Williams (foot) and Zach LaVine (foot) on the sidelines. Given all the injuries, Dalen Terry, Torrey Craig, Jevon Carter and Onuralp Bitim are candidates for a few extra minutes moving forward.

Phillips (foot) won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Coby White (hip) will be joining Phillips on the sidelines Thursday, leaving Chicago very thin at point guard. Expect Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso and Jevon Carter to get all the run they can handle, making all those guys reasonable targets in daily fantasy leagues. Phillips' next chance to play will come Saturday against the Wizards.

Phillips (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

Phillips continues to deal with right foot soreness but was able to play through it Wednesday. However, Chicago could opt to play it cautiously on the second leg of a back-to-back Thursday.

Phillips (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Phillips has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday due to right foot soreness. The rookie forward is averaging 4.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Phillips is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to right foot soreness.

Phillips matched his career high with 11 points in Monday's loss to Dallas, but his status will need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's contest. Phillips logged 28 minutes Monday after compiling just nine minutes across Chicago's two prior contests.

Phillips ended with 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 127-92 loss to Dallas.

Phillips contributed in the context of the blowout loss, although five of his points came in the first half, so it isn't as if Phillips strictly played during garbage time. Nonetheless, Chicago trailed for the entirety of Monday's contest, and Phillips has no fantasy credibility.

Phillips recorded six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 14 minutes during Monday's 113-109 win over the Kings.

Phillips has the physical archetype to be a sturdy wing or combo forward in the modern NBA, although that has yet to translate to relevant box score production. The rookie is settling into a consistent role, however, averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes across his last three games.

Phillips recorded nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Raptors.

The rookie second-round draft pick has been on the outside of Chicago's rotation for most of the season, but he cleared the 20-minute mark for the second game in a row Tuesday while Patrick Williams (foot) remained sidelined. Williams isn't scheduled to be re-evaluated for another two weeks and looks likely to remain out through the All-Star break, and Zach LaVine's (ankle) return may not be imminent either, so Phillips looks like he'll have an opportunity to continue playing meaningful minutes off the bench. Even so, Phillips' modest averages of 10.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 0.5 assists and 0.5 blocks over the past two contests means that he can largely be ignored outside of deeper leagues.

Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

Phillips receives a promotion in advance of Saturday's game against Memphis. The rookie out of Tennessee has not seen NBA action since Jan. 3.

Phillips is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers with bilateral fibula soreness.

The same injuries prevented Phillips from suiting up in Saturday's 122-116 win over the Spurs. Considering the rookie second-round pick was recently assigned to the G League before getting injured, Phillips is unlikely to be included in the NBA rotation even when he returns to full health.

Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

It's likely that Phillips returned to Chicago's G League affiliate for extra practice reps, but since Windy City doesn't play until Thursday, Phillips will return to the NBA roster. Chicago plays Charlotte on Monday.

Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Phillips was assigned and recalled on the same day, suggesting he got a practice in with Windy City. With Chicago near full strength, Phillips shouldn't see meaningful playing time.

The Bulls assigned Phillips to the Windy City Bulls of the G League on Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Phillips has appeared in Chicago's last four contests but has seen two minutes or fewer of action in three of them. The rookie forward will likely receive increased playing time in the G League.

Phillips accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three blocks across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 loss to Philadelphia.

Nikola Vucevic (groin) and Torrey Craig (heel) remain out, and Patrick Williams (ankle) left the contest early, allowing Phillips, Terry Taylor, Dalen Terry and Adama Sanogo to see increased roles in the second half of a blowout loss. Phillips showcased a versatile skill set by knocking down a triple and swatting three shots in a season-high 17 minutes, which marked just his third NBA game with double-digit minutes. Phillips may garner a modest bench role until Chicago's frontcourt is back to full strength, but currently, he doesn't have fantasy value.

Phillips logged zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Phillips was a second-round pick in this year's draft and played double-digit minutes in the Bulls' first three preseason games, but he had limited playing time during the team's penultimate preseason matchup Tuesday. He's unlikely to be a significant part of Chicago's rotation once the regular season begins.

Phillips (Not Injury Related) will play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Phillips missed the Bulls Summer League opener Friday due to ongoing contract negotiations, but appears to have come to terms on a deal and will be available for Saturday's tilt.

Phillips hasn't signed a contract yet, so he won't be available for Friday's Summer League against against the Raptors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Phillips was the No. 35 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but he's still negotiating his first pro contract. It's unclear when the two sides will get a deal done, but the Bulls Summer League squad plays again Saturday versus the Grizzlies.
