The Chicago Bulls face the Utah Jazz on Sunday, November 16, at 8:00 PM ET at the Delta Center, entering the matchup with several injury concerns. Chicago holds a 6-5 record, while Utah struggles at 4-8, but injuries could heavily influence the game.
Zach Collins is out with a left scaphoid fracture, removing a key frontcourt presence for the Bulls. Josh Giddey is probable with a right ankle sprain, while Tre Jones and Coby White are listed as questionable. Multiple two-way players—Trentyn Flowers, Emanuel Miller, and Lachlan Olbrich—are unavailable.
Utah will be without Taylor Hendricks (right hamstring strain), Walker Kessler (left shoulder recovery), and Georges Niang (left foot stress reaction). Kyle Anderson is questionable with a right low back issue, and two-way players John Tonje and Oscar Tshiebwe remain inactive.
Giddey leads Chicago with 21.4 points, 9.6 assists, and 9.3 rebounds per game. Nikola Vucevic contributes 16.1 points and 9.9 rebounds, while Matas Buzelis adds 14.9 points. With Collins sidelined, rebounding duties fall to Vucevic and Buzelis, while scoring and playmaking lean on Giddey.
For the Jazz, Lauri Markkanen averages 29.3 points and 6.1 rebounds, and Keyonte George provides 21.3 points and 7.1 assists. Jusuf Nurkic and Kyle Filipowski support interior play, but injuries to Hendricks, Kessler, and Niang limit depth.
Chicago’s strength remains at home with a 5-1 record, though they are 1-4 on the road. Utah has been uneven at home, holding a 3-3 record, and injuries may disrupt rotations against the Bulls’ high-tempo offense.
