Dealing with fractured wrist
Simons has been diagnosed with a fractured left wrist, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Analysis
Simons doesn't have a clear timetable for a return, and the expectation is that he'll return to action once the pain subsides. The sharpshooter aggravated an injury he dealt with during training camp this past fall, which previously cost him around 10 days. He should be considered week-to-week until Chicago offers an update on his status. In the meantime, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton are candidates to see increased roles.

Out again for Tuesday
Simons (wrist) will not play Tuesday against Charlotte.
Analysis
Simons suffered a wrist injury Saturday against the Pistons and didn't play Sunday versus the Knicks. He can be considered day-to-day until the Bulls release an update on the severity of the injury. With this news, Collin Sexton, Rob Dillingham and Tre Jones could see increased roles Tuesday.

Not playing Sunday
Simons has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a left wrist sprain.
Analysis
Simons injured the during the second quarter of Saturday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons and was unable to return for the second half of the contest. He will be held out for the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Hornets. With Jaden Ivey (knee) also sidelined, Collin Sexton, Rob Dillingham and Tre Jones could all see a little extra run off the bench behind backcourt starters Josh Giddey and Isaac Okoro.

Exits early Saturday
Simons won't return to Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left wrist injury.
Analysis
After starting in each of his first five appearances with the Bulls, Simons was moved to the bench for Saturday's contest. He provided four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 13 minutes before sustaining the wrist injury and being ruled out for the second half of the game. The Bulls will further evaluate him before providing additional word on the extent of the injury, but Simons would appear to be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Not starting Saturday
Simons is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Simons will head to the bench since the Bulls will be tweaking their first unit, and Guerschon Yabusele will move to the first unit as a result of this change. Simons is averaging 17.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in his first five games with Chicago since being traded from Boston before the deadline. This will be the first time he comes off the bench as a Bulls player.

Scores team-high 20 points
Simons provided 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 31 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
Simons recorded a team-high 20 points, tallying at least 20 points for the third time in five games since arriving in Chicago. While he has been able to get back to doing what he does best, his peripheral production remains largely underwhelming. Jaden Ivey was seemingly a healthy DNP-CD Thursday, a fate that could certainly befall Simons at some point in the near future. He is worth rostering in most leagues, although managers should be prepared for some unpredictable shifts in playing time.
