Overview
- Additional imaging showed Simons aggravated an old left wrist fracture, superseding the earlier listing of a contusion on the team’s game report.
- Simons hurt the wrist Saturday against the Pistons, when he logged 14 minutes and scored four points before exiting.
- Donovan said the fracture traces back to Boston’s training camp and noted the prior episode sidelined him roughly a week to 10 days, though clearance now depends on pain subsiding.
- In six games (five starts) with Chicago, Simons has averaged 15.2 points, 3.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 28.4 minutes.
- Chicago remains short-handed, with Jaden Ivey out due to right knee soreness, Jalen Smith listed as questionable with a left calf strain, and Zach Collins out for the season after toe surgery; the Bulls are on a nine-game losing streak at 24–34.
