Won't play Saturday
Jones (hamstring) will not play Saturday against Miami.
Analysis
Jones was given at least a two-week timetable back a week ago. With that in mind, a return against the Nuggets on Feb. 7 may be his best-case scenario.

Out again Thursday
Jones (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Heat.
Analysis
No surprise here, as the expectation is that Jones will miss multiple games for the Bulls. He was initially given a two-week timetable but showed up on the last injury report as doubtful, suggesting he's day-to-day. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter will likely see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Ruled out for Wednesday
Jones (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis
The Bulls anticipated that Jones would be out for two weeks with a left hamstring strain as of this past Friday, but the team ended up listing him as doubtful ahead of Monday's loss to the Lakers. With Jones sidelined, Isaac Okoro and Kevin Huerter should see some extra burn Wednesday. Jones can be deemed doubtful for Thursday's tilt against the Heat.

Ruled out Monday
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
It was reported Friday that Jones would be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a left hamstring strain, though he was upgraded to doubtful for Monday's contest. Still, he'll remain sidelined for a second consecutive game at the very least. He should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Indiana until Chicago offers an update on his status. With Jones unavailable, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Considered doubtful for Monday
Jones (hamstring) is doubtful to play Monday against the Lakers.
Analysis
Jones was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain over the weekend and was set to be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, he appears to have healed quickly, and while it's still unlikely he'll play on Monday, the backup point guard should be considered day-to-day moving forward. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter are candidates to inherit Jones' minutes in the meantime.
