Bulls at Nets: Money on the Floor, February 9, 2026
Giddey, who was previously listed as doubtful, will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game due to a left hamstring strain. The 23-year-old's final opportunity to return before the All-Star break will come Wednesday against the Celtics.
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.
Smith will miss a second straight game while on the mend from a right calf strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday in Boston. Guerschon Yabusele could be in line for another start with Smith sidelined again Monday.
It's becoming more likely that Jones won't suit up for the Bulls until after the All-Star break. However, his last chance to return before the break and end a 10-game absence comes Wednesday in Boston. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton should continue to run the Chicago backcourt in the interim.
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.
