Dailyn Swain was cleared on the Monday morning injury report, moving off Day-To-Day. The Bulls forward is available for the game at Philadelphia tonight.
What happened
The Bulls cleared Dailyn Swain on the injury report at 9:32 AM ET on Monday, Nov. 2. He had been listed Day-To-Day, and the report gives no detail and no comment with the change. Swain, a 21-year-old forward, has been on the report several times this season. He went from Day-To-Day to Out with an illness on Oct. 21, was cleared on Oct. 23, then was listed Day-To-Day with a back and torso issue on Oct. 30. He went to Out later that day and back to Day-To-Day on Oct. 31. Monday's report removes him from the list.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago plays at the 76ers tonight at 7:30 PM ET. The Bulls are 1-5, 13th seed, and have lost four straight. Swain has played one game this season, 12.0 minutes with 2.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The Bulls are 0-1 with him and 1-4 without him. In games without him, Caleb Wilson led the rotation at 34.1 minutes and 21.2 points. Norman Powell followed at 29.8 minutes and 20.7 points, then Josh Giddey at 26.3 and Matas Buzelis at 25.4. Jalen Smith played 24.2 minutes. Leonard Miller, Tre Jones and Isaac Okoro each played between 17.8 and 18.7 minutes. Any minutes for Swain would come out of that group.
What to watch
Swain's return date is not an issue now, since he is cleared for tonight's game. The next injury report will show whether the back and torso problem returns. His history this month, with three status changes in under two weeks, makes his workload worth tracking. Chicago also has Jalen Smith Day-To-Day with a left finger and arm issue, and Tobe Awaka Day-To-Day with a left ankle and leg issue. Nic Claxton is Out with a hamstring and leg injury. No return timeline has been announced for any of them.
