Dailyn Swain is day-to-day with a right wrist injury and will not play in Friday's Summer League game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury report lists an expected return date of Oct. 1, just ahead of Chicago's regular-season opener.
What happened
The Chicago Bulls listed Dailyn Swain as day-to-day with a wrist injury in an official report issued Sunday, Sept. 6 at 4:32 a.m. ET. Swain's previous status is not announced. The report's comment, credited to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, says Swain is out for Friday's Summer League game against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of right wrist soreness. The report lists an expected return date of Oct. 1.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago's next game on the schedule is Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. ET against the Phoenix Suns, after Swain's expected return date of Oct. 1 has already passed. The Bulls are 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no season line for Swain to compare against a missed game. In the minutes logged without him, forward Matas Buzelis has averaged 29.2 minutes and 16.3 points, while Josh Giddey (32.1 minutes, 17.0 points) and Nikola Vucevic (30.8 minutes, 16.9 points) have carried the largest workloads.
What to watch
Chicago's next injury report will show whether Swain's wrist has cleared up enough for him to return to game action. The report lists an expected return date of Oct. 1, ahead of the regular-season opener against the Suns on Oct. 7. Teammates Josh Giddey, Rob Dillingham and Zach Collins are also day-to-day on the same report, so Chicago's injury situation is worth tracking as the season opener approaches.
