Smith amassed 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 19 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Warriors.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Avoids injury report
Smith (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Smith didn't participate in Friday's practice while attending to a personal matter, but it appears he will be available to play Saturday. The fifth-year big man has averaged 10.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks over 16.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Doesn't practice Friday
Head coach Billy Donovan said that Smith missed Friday's practice due to personal reasons, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Smith was absent from practice, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Saturday's game against Golden State. The Bulls could be shorthanded in the frontcourt with the statuses of Zach Collins (recently traded) and Adama Sanogo (knee) up in the air. As a result, Patrick Williams and Matas Buzelis could see an uptick in playing time.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Available Tuesday
Smith (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
After being a late scratch due to an illness Sunday against Detroit, Smith is available Tuesday to handle his usual role off Chicago's bench as the top backup big man behind Nikola Vucevic. Over his last five games, Smith has averaged 9.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.0 minutes.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Questionable with illness
Smith (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
After being a late scratch ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Smith continues to deal with an illness. The Bulls will likely wait until closer to Tuesday's tipoff to update the veteran big man's status. If Smith sits out, Chicago would likely lean heavily on Nikola Vucevic to dominate the center minutes against Miami.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Ruled out Sunday
Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Smith was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his first game since Dec. 28 due to the illness. The Bulls could be short-handed in the frontcourt with no indication that Adama Sanogo or E.J. Liddell will return from their G League duties, meaning Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips could see a bump in playing time.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Deemed questionable Sunday
Smith (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Smith was a late addition to the injury report and could miss his first matchup since Dec. 28 due to the illness. Over his last five outings, the big man has averaged 9.8 points and 7.2 rebounds across 17.2 minutes per contest. If Smith is sidelined Sunday, Adama Sanogo and Dalen Terry could see increased run.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Three rejections Wednesday
Smith finished Wednesday's 122-100 loss to Boston with nine points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 23 minutes off the bench.
The fifth-year center missed recording his second double-double of the season as he tied his season high in rebounds. At the same time, the three rejections represented his best performance at the rim since he blocked five shots against the Hornets in a spot start Dec. 13. That game was also the last time Smith saw at least 20 minutes of court time. Still, Wednesday's workload was a product of the scoreboard -- Nikola Vucevic sat out the entire fourth quarter. If he consistently finds his way into a larger role, Smith's ability to contribute in blocks and threes would give him some fantasy appeal, but it might take a Vucevic trade for that to happen.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Will go Monday
Smith (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Smith was added to the injury report due to right knee tendonitis, but the issue isn't significant enough to keep him out of Monday's clash. He's averaging 13.6 minutes over his last five appearances and should expect to see a similar workload against LA.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Probable for Monday
Smith (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Flirts with double-double off bench
Smith scored 13 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), grabbed seven boards, dished three assists and recorded one block across 17 minutes of play in Wednesday's 129-113 loss to the Pacers.
Squaring off against his former team, Smith made the best of his limited time on the court backing up Nikola Vucevic via season-best efficiency across the board. He also came just three boards short of a double-double, which would've marked his second of the year. However, it'll be tough to contribute meaningful fantasy output regularly while averaging just 15.4 minutes a game. Nonetheless, he'll look to build on Wednesday's performance Friday against the Wizards.

Smith (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Smith was initially listed as probable and will fight off an ankle sprain to suit up for the Bulls on Wednesday. The veteran big man should play his usual role as the backup center behind Nikola Vucevic, so the former's fantasy appeal is highly limited at the moment.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Instant offense off bench Monday
Smith ended Monday's 112-91 loss to Milwaukee with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes.
Smith provided some instant offense off the bench for the Bulls, supplying an efficient 14 points to go with seven boards Monday. Across his last seven contests, Smith is averaging a fairly efficient 8.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes. The 24-year-old big man has proven to be a strong producer on a per-minute basis over the first five years of his career, so he'd be an appealing add in fantasy leagues if starting center Nikola Vucevic ever were to miss time with an injury.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Retreating to bench Monday
Smith is not in Chicago's starting lineup against Toronto on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Smith made his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday against the Hornets due to Nikola Vucevic being sidelined with an illness. Smith made the most of his spot start by playing a season-high 29 minutes and finishing with 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and five blocks, but he'll return to the bench for Monday's contest due to Vucevic no longer dealing with his illness.
