Logs three steals in Bulls debut
Ivey registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and three steals over 33 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Analyse
Ivey was acquired by the Bulls from the Pistons on Wednesday and was given the green light to make his debut with Chicago on Thursday despite the short turnaround. It's also worth noting that he was in the starting lineup for just the third time this season after starting in the majority of his games with Detroit in the three years prior to the 2025-26 campaign. The Bulls' backcourt is crowded with the likes of Josh Giddey (hamstring), Tre Jones (hamstring), Collin Sexton (recently traded) and Anfernee Simons, so what Ivey's role will look long-term remains to be seen.

Starting Thursday
Ivey will start Thursday in Toronto.
Analyse
Ivey will immediately be thrust into the first unit in Chicago, and it'll be Anfernee Simons, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith joining him in the starting lineup for Thursday's game. Ivey wasn't able to establish himself in the offense in Detroit, but he'll get some time to shine with a change of scenery in Chicago.

Will play Thursday
Ivey (recently traded) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
Ivey was dealt from the Pistons to the Bulls on Tuesday, and the team has since announced that he'll be ready to make his Chicago debut Thursday evening. Ivey averaged 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in his final 10 games with Detroit, all off the bench.

Likely to make Bulls debut Thursday
Ivey (recently traded) is probable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analyse
Ivey was traded to the Bulls in a three-team deal Tuesday and was initially listed as questionable for Thursday's game. However, it now appears likely he will make his team debut and could see heavy minutes, as Chicago will be shorthanded after a busy deadline. Ivey has played more than 22 minutes only once this season, as he works his way back from a broken leg last year.

Questionable for Thursday
Ivey (trade pending) is questionable for Thursday's game in Toronto.
Analyse
There are still some things that need to be done for the trade that sent Ivey to Chicago to be finalized, and they might not be completed before Thursday's away game. Check back closer to Thursday's tip for official word on Ivey's status.

Traded to Chicago
Ivey will be traded from the Pistons to the Bulls in a three-team transaction Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Minnesota will send Mike Conley to the Bulls, while Kevin Huerter (back) and Dario Saric will head to Detroit.
Analyse
Ivey has been in the rumor mill for months as he became expendable in Detroit's backcourt. It didn't help his case that he missed a lot of time with injuries in recent seasons. Ivey will get a fresh start in Chicago, but unless the team moves Coby White, Ivey won't be considered likely to start in the backcourt with Josh Giddey (hamstring) running the point. Ivey is questionable to debut against the Raptors on Thursday.

Sees 21 minutes in win
Ivey produced eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 victory over the Nets.
Analyse
With the Pistons mostly healthy, minutes continue to be difficult to come by in Detroit. If the team ends up being buyers at the trade deadline, it will be interesting to see if Ivey's name pops up as he's currently being underutilized in Detroit.
