Out for Game 2 Thomas (leg) is out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bucks.
Impact Thomas hasn't played since March 21. Even when healthy, he hasn't garnered a sizable role for Chicago, so his prolonged absence shouldn't impact head coach Billy Donovan's rotation.

Out for Game 1 Thomas (lower leg) won't be available Sunday for Game 1 of the Bulls' first-round series with the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Thomas was listed as questionable on the NBA's official injury report heading into the day, but he'll remain sidelined as the Bulls begin postseason play. Even if he had been healthy for the series opener with Milwaukee, Thomas was unlikely to be included in head coach Billy Donovan's rotation. Thomas finished the regular season with averages of 4.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 11.5 minutes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from downtown over his 40 appearances for Chicago.

Fails to practice Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Thomas (lower leg) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Impact Game 1 of the Bulls' first-round playoff series with the Bucks is still four days away, but Thomas' absence from practice isn't a promising early sign for his availability. Thomas missed the Bulls' final four regular-season contests with a right lower leg contusion.

Out vs. Celtics Thomas (lower leg) is out Wednesday against the Celtics.
Impact Despite being listed as probable, Thomas will be unavailable. That said, he's not a consistent part of the rotation, so his absence won't affect much.

Probable Wednesday Thomas (lower leg) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Thomas landed on the injury report Tuesday due to a lower-leg contusion. However, he hasn't appeared in a game since March 21, so his availability shouldn't impact Chicago's rotation.

Game-time call Tuesday Thomas is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Bucks due to a lower-leg contusion.
Impact Thomas hasn't appeared in a game since March 21. It's unclear when he picked up the injury, but his absence shouldn't impact Chicago's rotation.

Season-high 34 minutes off bench Thomas amassed five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the 76ers.
Impact With Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (groin) sidelined, Thomas played a season-high 34 minutes off the bench, but the 38.8 percent three-point shooter struggled to find the bottom of the net. As long as the aforementioned guards remain sidelined, Thomas figures to garner a major role in Billy Donovan's rotation, though it's unlikely he'll be able to sustain consistent fantasy production.

Scores six off bench Thomas finished Friday's 138-96 loss to the Warriors with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 18 minutes.
Impact Thomas has had fairly minimal playing time recently, but he saw an uptick in minutes during Friday's blowout loss since Zach LaVine (knee) exited the game early. He wasn't very efficient from the floor in the defeat but could continue to see increased run Saturday against the Celtics since LaVine will be unavailable.
