Tre Jones came off Chicago's injury report Monday, cleared after being listed day-to-day since Oct. 7. The point guard is on track to play when the Bulls open the season at the Bucks on Wednesday.
What happened
The Bulls listed Tre Jones as cleared on Monday's 10:20 a.m. ET injury report, a change from the day-to-day tag he had carried since Wednesday, Oct. 7, when he was marked day-to-day with a hip issue on the left side, filed under torso. No further detail or comment accompanied Monday's update, and no expected return date was needed since he is no longer listed as out or questionable.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago opens its 2026-27 season at the Bucks on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET, and Jones being cleared means the Bulls should have their point guard available for that opener. Last season, Jones played 65 games and averaged 27.0 minutes, 14.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists. In minutes logged without him, Josh Giddey (32.1 minutes, 17.0 points), Coby White (29.1 minutes, 18.6 points) and Ayo Dosunmu (26.4 minutes, 15.0 points) were among those who picked up extra run. The Bulls are 0-0, with the season not yet underway.
What to watch
The next injury report ahead of the Bucks game will confirm whether Jones' status holds. No expected return timeline was needed since he has already been cleared. Elsewhere on Chicago's report, Jaylin Sellers (back, torso) and Zach Collins (toe, right leg) remain day-to-day, both worth tracking as the opener approaches.
