Impact Craig hadn't entered the game prior to being ruled out, so he's unlikely to be missed much in the final few minutes of the game. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

Zach LaVine - Out vs. Minnesota LaVine is out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to an adductor strain, head coach Billy Donovan told Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com.
Impact This is a huge blow for the Bulls, as LaVine has been one of their most consistent scorers in the early stages of the season. However, Donovan said the injury is just tightness and not a strain, so it shouldn't keep him sidelined for an extended period. Ayo Dosunmu could get the start at small forward with LaVine sidelined.

Jalen Smith - Expected to play against Minnesota Smith (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Impact Smith continues to receive probable tags while dealing with a left knee effusion but has suited up in each of Chicago's last three contests. If Smith is upgraded to available, he should continue to operate as the backup center to Nikola Vucevic.

Zach LaVine - Unlikely to play Thursday LaVine (thigh) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact LaVine is expected to miss his third straight contest Thursday while dealing with a right adductor strain. Until LaVine is able to return, Ayo Dosunmu will likely continue to start.

Coby White - Poor shooting performance White produced eight points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact White failed to score double-digit points for just the second time this season. The 24-year-old guard also tied his season with four turnovers. Even with White's poor shooting performance, he is still converting 38.9 percent of his 9.0 three-point attempts per contest in 2024-25.

Jalen Smith - Minimal production in loss Smith racked up two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to Dallas.
Impact Smith scored a season-low two points during Wednesday's loss. Even despite the 24-year-old big man's poor shooting performance against Chicago, he is still converting 44.0 percent of his 3.6 three-point attempts per contest this season. Smith has also tallied at least one block or steal in four straight outings.

Ayo Dosunmu - Struggles with efficiency Dosunmu accumulated six points (2-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Dosunmu made his second straight start Wednesday with Zach LaVine (thigh) sidelined. After pouring 25 points in his previous outing, the 24-year-old guard struggled mightily with his outside shot against Dallas. Dosunmu is shooting just 38.5 percent from the field and 17.5 percent from three across eight appearances this season.

Josh Giddey - Plays through illness Wednesday Giddey posted 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Giddey continues to battle an ongoing illness, although once again suited up Wednesday. He finished with a serviceable line given his health and the fact the game was a blowout. It's been a solid start to his career in Chicago and barring a change in direction, he should continue to run as the starting point guard moving forward.
NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Torrey Craig - Fails to score in loss Craig provided no counting stats over three minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to Dallas.
Impact Craig played three minutes Wednesday, just the second time he has touched the floor this season. The Bulls were run off the court early, meaning the second and third units received additional playing time down the stretch. Even in a significant role, Craig has never been a high-volume producer. Given his current role, it is unlikely his name is mentioned all too much this season.
NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jevon Carter - Rare appearance in loss Carter notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Carter suited up for just the second time this season, playing six minutes in garbage time. It's been an underwhelming 12 months for Carter who has struggled to carve out a consistent role in the Chicago rotation. Based on what we have seen across the first six games, it appears he is going to be utilized as nothing more than a depth piece.
