Bulls Injury Report Slims Down vs. Cavaliers

The Chicago Bulls' injury report has been reduced to just two names before Friday's NBA Cup game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Essentially, the list is down to one name because two-way player Adama Sanogo likely won't see any playing time with Bulls' big men Jalen Smith and Nikola Vucevic healthy. Nonetheless, Sanogo (right knee effusion) is available against Cleveland.

Lonzo Ball remains sidelined due to a right wrist sprain. Ball recently began dribbling work and could return to the court for Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets.

Zach LaVine, who previously dealt with a right adductor strain, no longer appears on the Bulls' injury report.

On the Cavaliers' front, Jarret Allen (left lower leg sprain) is probable and Evan Mobley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game. Sam Merrill (left ankle soreness) and Max Strus (right ankle sprain) are out against Chicago.

The Bulls came up short against the Cavaliers on Monday but will have another chance to knock off the league's last unbeaten team. If successful, they'd earn their first 2024 NBA Cup victory. Fridays’s tip-off is at 6:30 p.m. CT and the game will air on Chicago Sports Network (CHSN).
