Joel Lorenzi: Asked if there’s a chance Zach Collins could be ruled out for the year with his lingering toe issue, Billy Donovan says “that could happen.” Notes the ramp-up period once he removes the boot, and that the two weeks after his boot is removed will be pivotal in that decision.
K.C. Johnson: Zach Collins will be in walking boot for at least a couple more weeks, per Donovan
Backup big Zach Collins met with multiple doctors Tuesday, looking for additional opinions about his sprained right toe. The Bulls expect to have more clarity on his return timeline when they get back to Chicago, but he may be sidelined longer than first thought.
Will Gottlieb: Injury updates from Billy Donovan: Giddey is back on the court but hasn’t gone into full ramp up mode. No setbacks, but also no timeline Collins has gotten multiple opinions on his toe, is having an in person consultation on Wednesday. Still in a boot. Sounds like he will not need a procedure
Joel Lorenzi: Bulls lose by 35 at home vs Wolves, one point shy of season’s worst loss. Lost White very early, lost Giddey early into second half. Without Collins for at least a week. These next few weeks could get nasty.

The Bulls have upgraded Ayo Dosunmu (right thumb sprain) to questionable for Friday’s game against Cleveland. Zach Collins (left wrist soreness) is probable and Tre Jones (left hamstring tightness) is questionable.
K.C. Johnson: Clean L2M report from Bulls-Hornets, including Zach Collins' legal contest on Kon Knueppel's 3-pointer, originally called a foul before video review overturned call.
Joel Lorenzi: Bulls end their skid with a 129-126 win in Charlotte, their first since Nov. 21. Massive overturned call there to decide the game. Okoro with 15 in his return, Collins with 16 & 8 as he comes close to returning to form.
Joel Lorenzi: Donovan on Bulls’ inability to uphold their playstyle through recent skid: “I’m not looking at film saying, ‘Oh, Kevin Huerter’s out, Zach Collins is out. Boy, if HE was here, this would be different.’ I don’t believe that. Some of it’s, like, inbounding the basketball. What do these guys being out have to do with that? What is five guys running back in transition, talking and communicating, have to do with anybody being out?”
