Isaac Okoro was cleared on the injury report at 6:03 PM ET on Wednesday, Oct 21, after being listed as day-to-day. That makes him available for the Bulls at Toronto tonight at 7:30 PM ET.
What happened
The Bulls' injury report listed Isaac Okoro as cleared on Wednesday, Oct 21 at 6:03 PM ET. Before that update he was day-to-day. The report had first listed him day-to-day on Tuesday, Oct 13, with an undisclosed issue. On Tuesday, Oct 20, he was still day-to-day, now with a knee issue. Wednesday's update gave no further detail and no comment. The 25-year-old forward-guard now goes from questionable availability to a full return just before tip-off.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago plays at Toronto tonight at 7:30 PM ET, and both teams are 0-0 before the 2026-27 season. Last season Okoro played 63 games and averaged 26.9 minutes, 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists. In the games he missed, the minutes went to the main rotation: Josh Giddey at 32.1 minutes, Nikola Vucevic at 30.8, Matas Buzelis at 29.2, Coby White at 29.1 and Jaden Ivey at 28.9. Anfernee Simons, Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu each played between 26 and 29 minutes. There are no regular-season games yet to compare the Bulls with and without him.
What to watch
With Okoro cleared, the next question is how many minutes he plays tonight in Toronto. The Bulls are still missing others. Dailyn Swain and Jordan Hawkins are out with illnesses, and Nic Claxton is out with a hamstring injury. Each new injury report will show whether Okoro's knee shows up again. No other limits on his playing time have been announced.
