Listed out Monday
Smith (calf) is out for Monday's game against Brooklyn.
Analisi
Smith will miss a second straight game while on the mend from a right calf strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday in Boston. Guerschon Yabusele could be in line for another start with Smith sidelined again Monday.

Questionable to play Monday
Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Analisi
Smith has been working through a right calf strain since late January, which has caused him to miss three of the Bulls' last five games. If he's unable to play Monday, then Guerschon Yabusele would likely start for the Bulls while Nick Richards and Patrick Williams will each get a bump in minutes off the bench.

Won't play Saturday
Smith (calf) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analisi
Smith has been dealing with a right calf issue over the past week and a half, and the issue will prevent him from suiting up Saturday. Smith's absence means Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards will likely handle most of the center minutes, while Lachlan Olbrich or Leonard Miller could be mixed in. Smith's next chance to play will come Monday at Brooklyn.

Iffy for Saturday
Smith is questionable for Saturday's game versus Denver with a right calf strain.
Analisi
Smith continues to battle a lingering right calf issue and remains day-to-day. With Nikola Vucevic no longer in Chicago, Smith could see an uptick in fantasy appeal moving forward.

Drops 16 points in return
Smith (calf) registered 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
Analisi
After missing the prior two games due to a calf issue, Smith rejoined the lineup and scored in double digits in his 11th straight appearance (eight starts). Over that 11-game stretch, the 25-year-old big man is averaging 13.3 points, 8.4 boards, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks in 27.0 minutes. With Nikola Vucevic shipped out to Boston on Tuesday, Smith looks like he'll be locked in as the Bulls' starting center for the rest of the season, barring Chicago making other additions at the position ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Cleared to play
Smith (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Analisi
Smith's availability was in question due to cramping in his right calf, but he's been given the green light to take the court Tuesday. He's expected to be held around the 20-minute mark, but that could change depending on how he feels at halftime, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. Smith is averaging 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in his previous five appearances.
