Out for Sunday
Buzelis (ankle) won't play Sunday in Dallas.
Analyse
With the Bulls playing for Ping Pong balls, Buzelis will hit the sidelines for their regular-season finale. His absence should open up minutes for Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller.

Exits early Friday
Buzelis won't return to Friday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle. He'll finish with 14 points (6-17 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 27 minutes.
Analyse
Buzelis was cleared to return from a three-game absence due to an illness but picked up an ankle injury and exited to the locker room with 10:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. The second-year forward should be considered questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale in Dallas until the Bulls offer an update on his status.

Will play Friday
Buzelis (illness) said he will play in Friday's game against the Magic, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analyse
Buzelis is set to shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence. The second-year forward has averaged 16.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks across 30.6 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Chance to play Friday
Buzelis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Buzelis has a chance to snap a three-game absence due to an illness, but given the Bulls aren't competing for a playoff spot, it's unlikely he sees a major role even if cleared to suit up. Leonard Miller has taken advantage of increased playing time in Buzelis' absence, and that should continue Friday if the latter remains in street clothes.

Won't play Thursday
Buzelis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
Buzelis will be sidelined for a third straight contest as the franchise continues to err on the side of caution. Look for Leonard Miller to be heavily involved Thursday.
6. April 2026
Out with illness
Buzelis (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
An illness is resulting in a second straight absence for Buzelis. Leonard Miller started at power forward in Sunday's loss to the Suns and should do so once again Tuesday in Buzelis' stead.
