Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Chicago Bulls contra Toronto Raptors (17 ene 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Knee Injury Management (2026-11-15, NYK@TOR). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is doing individual on-court work and is progressing well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide another update on Leonard's status in about one week, though it's encouraging to see how he's progressed thus far. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter are candidates for increased playing time for as long as Leonard is sidelined.

Injury/Illness - Left Groin Strain (2026-11-15, NYK@TOR). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Barnes (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. Barnes has missed four straight games with a groin strain, but he was able to participate partially in practice Saturday. Collin Murray-Boyles would presumably pick up another start at power forward if Barnes' absence continues.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, NYK@TOR).

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, NYK@TOR). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): McCullar signed a two-way contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports. McCullar quickly finds a new home after being waived by the Knicks in late October. The forward is expected to play a prominent role for Toronto's G League affiliate.

Injury/Illness - Right Foot Avulsion Fracture (2026-11-15, NYK@TOR). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Bittle (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet.ca reports. Bittle is still working his way back from a foot fracture that has plagued him for multiple months, and he remains without a clear return timeline. He can be considered week-to-week for the time being.

Smith (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Minnesota, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. Smith will miss his first game of the season after being listed questionable earlier Saturday due to a sprained left finger. Nix Claxton (hamstring) has also been ruled out, leaving Zach Collins and Orlando Robinson as the two healthy bigs remaining for Chicago.

Wilson (hand) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The rookie forward went down during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, and he now needs surgery to repair a fractured right hand. More pressure will likely fall on Josh Giddey going forward, while the likes of Tre Jones and Isaac Okoro will have a chance for added streaming value.

Claxton (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. Claxton was carrying a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's contest, and the big man will miss the game -- his first absence since his season debut Nov. 8 against the 76ers. Claxton will aim to return to action against the Cavaliers on Monday. With Claxton and Jalen Smith (finger) out, Zach Collins and Orlando Robinson are expected to see most of the minutes at center.

Awaka has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. Now set to miss a third straight game due to a back injury, Awaka will aim to return during Chicago's next game against Cleveland on Monday.
