The No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Essengue's rookie season comes to an end with just two brief appearances to his name.

After suffering the injury during his appearance Friday in the G League Windy City Bulls' win over the Cleveland Charge, Essengue rejoined the parent club and will now miss Chicago's second straight game due to the injury. Even when healthy, the rookie first-round pick hasn't been a regular part of head coach Billy Donovan's rotation.
