Bulls vs Jazz Injury Update: Key Players Impacted

In their last encounter, the Bulls and Jazz delivered an exhilarating game that ended 150–147 in double overtime. This time, both squads will take the court with notable players missing due to injuries.

Utah Jazz Injury Report

• Out:
  • Walker Kessler (Left Shoulder Injury recovery)
  • Kevin Love (Rest)
  • Georges Niang (Left Foot; Fourth metatarsal stress reaction)
• Doubtful: Lauri Markkanen (Illness)

Markkanen, who scored an impressive 47 points in their last matchup, is now questionable for the game. He appeared on the injury report just a day before the game after being listed as healthy.

Chicago Bulls Injury Report

• Out:
  • Zach Collins (Right 1st Toe Sprain)
  • Noa Essengue (Left Shoulder Surgery)
  • Josh Giddey (Left Hamstring Strain)
• Questionable: Julian Phillips (Left Wrist Sprain)

Josh Giddey, who previously recorded a triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists against the Jazz, will miss the game due to a hamstring injury suffered earlier this season. His rehabilitation includes non-contact drills, but he has no set return date.

On a more positive note, Coby White, who recently made his season debut against Utah, will be available. White missed Chicago’s last game due to calf injury management but is ready for this rematch.

As both teams gear up for another thrilling showdown, the impact of these injuries could play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
