Estatísticas de jogadores e prévia: Sacramento Kings x Chicago Bulls (7 de jan. de 2027)

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.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Achiuwa missed Friday's 120-107 loss to Portland due to left ankle soreness, and that same ailment will keep him questionable for Sunday's home tilt against OKC. Keegan Murray got the start in place of Achiuwa, which would likely be the case again if the latter is sidelined.

Injury/Illness - Right Achilles Tendon Repair / Surgery (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-10-21): Simmons underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Simmons had a quality preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per contest (two games). The 30-year-old was on track to suit up for the Kings on opening night, though those plans were halted after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice. Now, Simmons will focus on rehab. However, it's unknown what the future holds regarding his career in the NBA. Previously reported out for season.
