The Chicago Bulls cleared Jaylin Sellers from the injury report Wednesday evening, lifting him off a day-to-day tag. He is now available for Wednesday's 8 p.m. ET game at Milwaukee.
What happened
The Bulls cleared Jaylin Sellers on Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET, taking him off the injury report after he had been listed day-to-day. The 23-year-old first appeared on the report Oct. 7 as day-to-day with a back and torso issue, then was kept at day-to-day status again Wednesday before the clearance came through just before tip. The team has not detailed the injury further, and no comment was issued with the clearance.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago hosts Milwaukee at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, and Sellers is now available after missing recent games. The Bulls have not played a regular-season game yet this season, so there is no record to parse with or without him. In his absence, the backcourt and wing rotation carried the load: Josh Giddey logged 32.1 minutes and 17.0 points, Nikola Vucevic 30.8 minutes and 16.9 points, Matas Buzelis 29.2 minutes and 16.3 points, Coby White 29.1 minutes and 18.6 points, Jaden Ivey 28.9 minutes and 11.5 points, Anfernee Simons 28.4 minutes and 15.2 points, Tre Jones 27.0 minutes and 14.1 points, and Isaac Okoro 26.9 minutes and 9.3 points. Sellers' return gives Chicago another option in that mix.
What to watch
The Bulls have not announced a return timeline, but that is moot now that Sellers is cleared. Watch the next injury report for any change in his status before the game at Milwaukee, and track the other players still listed: Isaac Okoro (day-to-day, undisclosed), Tobe Awaka (day-to-day, knee), Zach Collins (day-to-day, right toe) and Nic Claxton (day-to-day, hamstring), all question marks for the same game.
