Okoro landed on Chicago's injury report Tuesday as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, a first listing with no previous status attached. That leaves his status uncertain for Wednesday's game at the Bucks, though the report lists an expected return date of Oct. 14, the same day as that game.
What happened
Isaac Okoro was listed day-to-day on the Tuesday, Oct. 13 injury report, filed at 3:08 p.m. ET, with an undisclosed injury classified under "other." The report carried no previous status for him, so this is a new listing. The report's comment says Okoro will start in Sunday's preseason game against Denver. His expected return date on the report is Oct. 14.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago is next up at the Bucks on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET. The 2026-27 regular season has not started, so the Bulls carry no record yet and there is no with-or-without split to draw from. Last season, Okoro averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.9 minutes over 63 games. In his absence this preseason, Chicago's rotation has leaned on Josh Giddey (32.1 minutes, 17.0 points), Nikola Vucevic (30.8, 16.9), Matas Buzelis (29.2, 16.3) and Coby White (29.1, 18.6), with Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons, Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu also drawing minutes on the wing and in the backcourt.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether the day-to-day label changes before Wednesday's game at the Bucks. His expected return is listed as Oct. 14, the same date as that game. The report's comment also has him starting in a preseason game against Denver on Sunday.
