  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Shines off bench Saturday

    Phillips posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and an assist across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 124-121 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

    Zach LaVine was the best player for the Bulls by a wide margin, but Phillips certainly turned a few heads with his play off the bench. The former Tennessee standout is a long shot to make the Opening Night roster, and even if he does, he's not expected to play a significant role as a depth option in both forward roles. Phillips averaged 8.1 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Fully healthy

    Phillips (foot) said Sunday that he's completed his rehab and feels 100 percent healthy, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he looks as though he'll be in store for a normal offseason. The rookie second-round pick appeared in 40 games for Chicago in 2023-24, averaging 2.2 points and 0.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Won't play Friday

    Phillips (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

    Phillips continues to deal with a right mid foot sprain and will be unavailable as the Bulls attempt to secure the No. 8 seed Friday. Even if the Bulls advance to the first round of the playoffs, it seems unlikely that Phillips will be able to return.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Remains out

    Phillips (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Hawks.

    Phillips missed the final 16 games of the regular season due to a right midfoot sprain and doesn't have a timetable to return. Barring the Bulls making a surprise run in the postseason, Phillips' 2023-24 campaign is likely over.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Won't play Sunday

    Phillips (foot) is out for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

    Phillips hasn't played since March 13 due to a right mid-foot sprain and will remain out for the Bulls' regular-season finale Sunday. The Bulls haven't provided much of an indication that Phillips will be healthy in time for the team's Play-In Tournament game versus the Hawks on Wednesday.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Remains out indefinitely

    Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Friday that Phillips (foot) is still "in and out" of a walking boot and is without a timeline for a re-evaluation, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He hasn't been on the court or done anything physical yet," Donovan said. "So it's hard to say whether he would be available, and when he is available, when that would even be until I can at least know that he's on the court."

    Phillips was diagnosed with the foot injury March 15 and missed his 10th straight game in Monday's loss to the Hawks on account of the issue. Donovan's comments suggest that Phillips' return to game action isn't imminent, and even if the rookie forward can ditch the boot for good within the next week, he would still require a ramp-up period to regain conditioning. Phillips hasn't been ruled out for the season, but a return for the Bulls' April 14 finale versus the Knicks would appear unlikely at this point.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Out indefinitely

    The Bulls announced Friday that Phillips has been diagnosed with a right foot sprain and is out indefinitely.

    The Bulls didn't provide a return timetable, saying Phillips' status will be updated as appropriate, but given the rookie is in a walking boot, he'll likely be sidelined for at least a few weeks. Chicago's wings can't stay healthy, as Phillips joins Patrick Williams (foot) and Zach LaVine (foot) on the sidelines. Given all the injuries, Dalen Terry, Torrey Craig, Jevon Carter and Onuralp Bitim are candidates for a few extra minutes moving forward.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Won't play Thursday

    Phillips (foot) won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Coby White (hip) will be joining Phillips on the sidelines Thursday, leaving Chicago very thin at point guard. Expect Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso and Jevon Carter to get all the run they can handle, making all those guys reasonable targets in daily fantasy leagues. Phillips' next chance to play will come Saturday against the Wizards.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Deemed questionable Thursday

    Phillips (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

    Phillips continues to deal with right foot soreness but was able to play through it Wednesday. However, Chicago could opt to play it cautiously on the second leg of a back-to-back Thursday.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Good to go against Indiana

    Phillips (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Phillips has been upgraded from questionable to available and will play despite right foot soreness. The rookie forward has averaged 4.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Tagged as questionable

    Phillips is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to right foot soreness.

    Phillips matched his career high with 11 points in Monday's loss to Dallas, but his status needs to be monitored ahead of Wednesday's contest. Phillips logged 28 minutes Monday after compiling only nine minutes across Chicago's two prior contests.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Chips in 11 points

    Phillips ended with 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 127-92 loss to Dallas.

    Phillips contributed in the context of the blowout loss, although five of his points came in the first half, so it isn't as if Phillips strictly played during garbage time. Nonetheless, Chicago trailed for the entire contest, and Phillips has no fantasy credibility in standard leagues.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Scores six points Monday

    Phillips recorded six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 14 minutes during Monday's 113-109 win over the Kings.

    Phillips has the physical archetype to be a sturdy wing or combo forward in the modern NBA, although that has yet to translate to relevant box score production. The rookie is settling into a consistent role, however, averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes across his last three games.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Logs 20 minutes in second straight

    Phillips recorded nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Raptors.

    The rookie second-round draft pick has been on the outside of Chicago's rotation for most of the season, but he cleared the 20-minute mark for the second game in a row Tuesday while Patrick Williams (foot) remained sidelined. Williams isn't scheduled to be re-evaluated for another two weeks and looks likely to remain out through the All-Star break, and Zach LaVine's (ankle) return may not be imminent either, so Phillips looks like he'll have an opportunity to continue playing meaningful minutes off the bench. Even so, Phillips' modest averages of 10.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 0.5 assists and 0.5 blocks over the past two contests means he can largely be ignored outside of deeper leagues.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Recalled to Chicago

    Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

    Phillips receives a promotion in advance of Saturday's game against Memphis. The rookie out of Tennessee has not seen NBA action since Jan. 3.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Out with sore fibulas

    Phillips is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers with bilateral fibula soreness.

    The same injuries prevented Phillips from suiting up in Saturday's 122-116 win over the Spurs. Considering the rookie second-round pick was recently assigned to the G League before getting injured, Phillips is unlikely to be included in the NBA rotation even when he returns to full health.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Recalled Sunday

    Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

    Phillips was sent to the G League on Saturday and played 34 minutes during Windy City's 130-114 win over Stockton, posting 30 points (8-13 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal. Phillips has made 20 NBA appearances this season, but he's played double-digit minutes just three times.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Back to NBA

    Chicago recalled Phillips from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Phillips was assigned and recalled on the same day, suggesting he got a practice in with Windy City. With Chicago near full strength, Phillips shouldn't see meaningful playing time.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Headed back to G League

    The Bulls assigned Phillips to the Windy City Bulls of the G League on Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Phillips has appeared in Chicago's last four contests but has seen two minutes or fewer of action in three of them. The rookie forward will likely receive increased playing time in the G League.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Season-high 17 minutes

    Phillips accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three blocks across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 loss to Philadelphia.

    Nikola Vucevic (groin) and Torrey Craig (heel) remain out, and Patrick Williams (ankle) left the contest early, allowing Phillips, Terry Taylor, Dalen Terry and Adama Sanogo to see increased roles in the second half of a blowout loss. Phillips showcased a versatile skill set by knocking down a triple and swatting three shots in a season-high 17 minutes, which marked just his third NBA game with double-digit minutes. Phillips may garner a modest bench role until Chicago's frontcourt is back to full strength, but currently, he doesn't have fantasy value.
