Bulls at Raptors: Money on the Floor, February 5, 2026
Giddey will miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a left hamstring strain. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Nuggets, but a clear timeline for his return has yet to be established. Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps), Tre Jones and newcomers Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons figure to take on larger roles in Giddey's absence.
Sexton was traded from the Hornets to the Bulls on Wednesday and isn't quite ready to make his Chicago debut. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons are available Thursday and should provide some needed support in the backcourt. Sexton's next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday against the Nuggets.
Collins suffered a significant right big toe sprain in late December, and he's not expected to shed his walking boot until late January or early February, at the earliest, per Johnson. Collins' absence has meant more minutes for Julian Phillips and Patrick Williams.
Jones is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to a hamstring strain. He was deemed available for Chicago's previous contest in Milwaukee on Tuesday but never saw the court. With the Bulls active at the trade deadline and their new additions unlikely to play Thursday, Yuki Kawamura could see an expanded role in Toronto due to Jones' absence.
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. The Bulls had a plan to bring him along slowly, to be clear, and he showed a lot of promise in four G League appearances with averages of 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
