Expected to miss at least one week
Smith, who is out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, is expected to miss about one week with a right calf strain, per Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic.
Analyse
The timeline for a return would put Smith out for at least Chicago's next three contests. Fantasy managers can look for the Bulls to lean on Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele to fill the void at center for now.

Downgraded to out
Smith is out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers with a strained right calf.
Analyse
Head coach Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Smith isn't day-to-day, so the big man can be tentatively deemed doubtful for Sunday's tilt against the Bucks. Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele both belong in the streaming mix as Chicago's top two centers Thursday.

Surprisingly listed as doubtful
Smith (calf) is officially listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against Portland.
Analyse
Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Smith is "definitely not day-to-day." However, the Bulls' official injury report lists Smith as doubtful for Thursday's contest instead of out. While the contradictory statements leave Smith's timetable for return murky, it'd be shocking to see him suit up Thursday. While Smith is sidelined, look for Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele to handle most of the center duties.

Has no return timetable
Smith (calf) is without a timetable to return, according to Bulls reporter Kevin Lu on Wednesday.
Analyse
According to coach Billy Donovan, Smith was not at practice Wednesday and is not considered day-to-day. Based on this update, it's safe to rule Smith out for Thursday's game against Portland, and the big man can be considered week-to-week. Nick Richards could see a bump in minutes in the meantime.

Ruled out Tuesday
Smith is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with a left calf strain.
Analyse
Smith's next chance to play comes Thursday against Portland. Depending on how the Bulls plan to handle their lineup, Collin Sexton, Patrick Williams and Nick Richards all have a chance to claim an expanded role.

Questionable for Tuesday
Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with a left calf strain.
Analyse
After leaving Sunday's game against the Knicks early, Smith is in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest. His possible absence would allow Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards to form a timeshare at the center position, with both likely being viable streaming options in this scenario.

Won't return Sunday
Smith won't return to Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right calf tightness.
Analyse
Smith has been nursing a right calf issue for some time now, and he appeared to aggravate the injury before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. He concludes the contest with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and a steal in 18 minutes. Nick Richards figures to see more playing time while Smith is sidelined.

Serviceable again in loss
Smith posted 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.
Analyse
Smith was productive again despite the loss, although his playing time remains a little underwhelming. He continues to deal with an ongoing calf issue, limiting him to just four appearances in the past nine games. While the production was certainly more than adequate, perhaps the biggest news to come out of Chicago was the fact that Zach Collins is going to miss the remainder of the season due to toe surgery. For those rostering Smith, this should eliminate any concerns there were regarding his starting role.
