Bulls forward Dailyn Swain moved from out to day-to-day with an illness on Wednesday night's injury report. He missed the season opener against Toronto, and he is uncertain for Friday's game at Milwaukee.
What happened
The 21-year-old forward was listed as day-to-day on the injury report at 11:58 p.m. ET Wednesday, Oct. 21, with an illness. His previous status was out. The report's comment said Swain was out for Wednesday's season opener against Toronto with an illness. His status has changed several times this week. He was listed as out on Tuesday, Oct. 20, moved to day-to-day the same day, then went back to out on Wednesday before the latest update. Before this, he was day-to-day with a wrist issue on Sept. 6 and was cleared on Sept. 29.
What it means for the Bulls
Chicago plays next at Milwaukee on Friday, Oct. 23, at 4:00 p.m. ET. The Bulls are 0-1 after the opener, sit 12th, and have lost one straight. Swain has not played yet this season, so he has no season line. Chicago spread the minutes out in the loss without him. Caleb Wilson played 11.6 minutes and scored 6 points. Norman Powell played 10.6 minutes and scored 11. Matas Buzelis played 10.5 minutes, Jalen Smith 10.2 and Josh Giddey 10.0. Leonard Miller, Isaac Okoro and Tre Jones also took minutes. Jordan Hawkins is day-to-day with an illness, and Nic Claxton is out with a hamstring injury.
What to watch
The next injury report before Friday's game at Milwaukee will show whether Swain is cleared, stays day-to-day or is ruled out again. The injury report lists Oct. 24 as his expected return date. That is the day after the Bucks game, so Friday is still uncertain. Hawkins's status is also worth watching, since he is listed with an illness too. Claxton remains out with his hamstring injury.
