Iffy for Saturday
Smith is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to a concussion.
Analyse
Smith is attempting to pass each step of the league's concussion protocol in time to be eligible for action Saturday. If he cannot do so, Lachlan Olbrich would handle backup center duties behind Nikola Vucevic, as Zach Collins (toe) still isn't ready to play.

Another absence coming
Smith (concussion) is out for Thursday's game against the Heat.
Analyse
Smith's next chance to pass the league's concussion protocol comes Saturday against Dallas. With Smith set to miss a third straight game, Lachlan Olbrich should continue to fill the void as the backup center behind Nikola Vucevic.

Still out with concussion
Smith is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a concussion.
Analyse
Smith remains in the league's concussion protocol, which is keeping him out for a second consecutive contest. Patrick Williams could see an uptick in playing time Wednesday, while Lachlan Olbrich appears slated to handle the backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic.

Out for Monday
Smith (concussion) won't play Monday in Boston.
Analyse
Smith is currently in concussion protocol and will need to clear a series of tests before he's allowed to return to the court. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips should pick up the slack in Smith's absence.

Enters concussion protocol
Smith entered the league's concussion protocol following the Bulls' 112-99 loss to the Hornets on Saturday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analyse
Smith was evaluated by medical staff after a head-to-head collision with LaMelo Ball early in the third quarter, and the former has now been placed in concussion protocol. The Bulls' next game takes place Monday against Boston, but Smith would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available. With Zach Collins (toe) sidelined, Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips would be in line for more minutes if Smith were to miss time, though it's worth noting that Kevin Huerter led the bench with 31 minutes during Saturday's loss.

Analyse
Smith was helped to the locker room early in the third quarter after a head-to-head collision with LaMelo Ball. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips will step into larger roles for as long as Smith is being evaluated by medical staff.

Helped to locker room

Analyse
