Jalen Smith: Breaking News

Done for season

Smith (calf) will miss the remainder of the season, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. With the Bulls sitting at 29-43 on the season, the team will shut Smith down so he can tend to his lingering calf issue. He put together a solid campaign, appearing in 53 regular-season contests with averages of 10.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.7 minutes per contest.

Won't return Wednesday

Smith (calf) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the 76ers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. Smith only lasted six minutes before tapping out, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block. For now, Smith should be viewed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Thunder, with that one coming as the first in a back-to-back set.

Won't start Monday

Smith (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockets. Smith will play despite previously being listed as questionable due to right calf injury management, but he'll be limited to 22-24 minutes, prompting the Bulls to keep Nick Richards in the starting lineup at center. In 32 games as a reserve this season, Smith is averaging 9.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.1 minutes per contest.
