Officially out
Jones (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analyse
Jones will miss an 11th straight game due to a strained left hamstring, but the guard will have the full All-Star break to rest and recover before Chicago's next game, which will come Feb. 19 against Toronto. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined Wednesday, look for Chicago to lean on the quartet of Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham in the backcourt.

Unlikely to play
Jones (hamstring) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analyse
As expected, the Bulls are likely to hold Jones out through the All-Star break. When the Bulls are at full strength in the backcourt, it will be interesting to see how the team handles this logjam in terms of minutes.

Another absence coming
Jones is out for Monday's game against the Nets with a strained left hamstring.
Analyse
It's becoming more likely that Jones won't suit up for the Bulls until after the All-Star break. However, his last chance to return before the break and end a 10-game absence comes Wednesday in Boston. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton should continue to run the Chicago backcourt in the interim.

Doubtful for Monday
Jones (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game in Brooklyn, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Jones is on track to sit out his 10th consecutive game Monday, and it appears Josh Giddey (hamstring) will be joining him on the sidelines. With both Jones and Giddey expected to sit Monday, Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton will soak up the guard minutes for Chicago.

Ruled out for Saturday
Jones is out for Saturday's game against Denver with a strained left hamstring.
Analyse
Jones is running his absence up to nine games Saturday. Monday's matchup in Brooklyn marks his next chance to play. With the Bulls' backcourt still jumbled in the aftermath of a hectic trade deadline, Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey may be needed to handle the bulk of the playmaking duties until the dust settles.
