Isaac Okoro Heads Into 2026-27 Looking to Build on a Steady Bulls Season
newsroom · 2 h agoIsaac Okoro is back with the Chicago Bulls for 2026-27, coming off a season where he played 63 games as a wing defender and role scorer. He is not on the injury report right now. The opener is still ahead, so his 2025-26 numbers are the best guide to what he brings this year.
Who is Isaac Okoro
Isaac Okoro is a 25-year-old forward-guard out of Auburn, now in his sixth NBA season. He is listed at 6-4 and 225 pounds and wears No. 35 for the Chicago Bulls. Okoro built his reputation as a wing who can guard multiple positions, and at 6-4 with a strong frame he fits that role physically. Six seasons in, he is no longer a young project but an established rotation piece with a defined game: defense and spacing over ball-handling. Auburn fans who followed him in college will recognize the same two-way profile that got him drafted, now translated into a veteran NBA role with the Bulls heading into 2026-27.
Last season by the numbers
In 2025-26, Okoro played 63 games for Chicago, averaging 26.9 minutes a night. He put up 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, with just 0.7 turnovers. His shooting was efficient in a low-usage role: 46.0 percent from the field, 33.0 percent from three, and 79.5 percent from the line, good for a 57.4 true shooting percentage on a 13.7 usage rate. The plus-minus was rough at minus-5.3, a reminder that his individual efficiency did not always show up in the score. Those are last season's numbers, not a projection for what comes next in 2026-27.
Injury report
Okoro is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history logged for him going into training camp. That is a clean bill of health heading into 2026-27, with nothing to monitor on the medical side as the Bulls prepare for the season. For a wing who is often tasked with guarding the opponent's best perimeter scorer, staying off the injury list matters for both his minutes and Chicago's rotation plans. Right now there is nothing more to report here beyond a clean status, and that itself is useful information for anyone tracking his availability for the opener.
Role heading into 2026-27
With no trades, arrivals or departures noted in his file, Okoro projects to continue in the same lane that defined his 2025-26 season: a low-usage, defense-first wing who spaces the floor around 33 percent from three. His 13.7 usage rate last season shows he is not asked to create shots, and his 0.7 turnovers per game reflect a low-mistake, low-touch role. At 6-4 and 225 pounds, he brings size for a guard and mobility for a forward, which is why he logs matchups across positions. Entering his sixth season, there is no reason in the data to expect a dramatically different role for 2026-27 than the one he played last year.
What to watch for the opener
The 2026-27 season has not started yet for the purposes of this report, so there is no game log or schedule detail to draw on beyond last year's stats. What is known: Okoro is healthy, he is entering year six, and last season he was a full-time rotation player who logged 63 games and just under 27 minutes a night. The opener is coming, and the numbers to watch will be whether his three-point mark holds near 33.0 percent, whether his minutes stay near last season's 26.9 average, and whether the team's plus-minus picture around him improves from last year's minus-5.3.
