Tre Jones - Ditches walking boot Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said prior to Wednesday's 109-90 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament that Jones (foot) is no longer using a walking boot, J...
Impact Donovan added that Jones was unlikely to be available for the first round of the playoffs had the Bulls advanced past the Play-In Tournament, but it became a moot point once the team was eliminated with Wednesday's loss. After being acquired from the Spurs ahead of the trade deadline in February, Jones appeared in 18 games (nine starts) and averaged 11.5 points, 4.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes per game while shooting 57.2 percent from the field. The veteran floor general missed the final 12 games of the regular season after suffering a left midfoot sprain, but assuming he experiences no setbacks in his recovery over the summer, he should be back to full health for training camp. Jones will become an unrestricted free agent in July and will look to catch on with a team with a need for a backup point guard.

Lonzo Ball - Will avoid wrist surgery Ball said Thursday that he won't require surgery on his sprained right wrist and expects to have a normal offseason, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Impact Though Ball had missed the entire 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons while recovering from three surgeries on his left knee, he noted that his knee held up "better than expected" in his return to the court in 2024-25. Instead, it was the right wrist that he first sprained in an Oct. 28 game that was the primary culprit in limiting him to just 35 appearances on the season. He missed 15 straight games after initially suffering the injury, then missed the final 22 games of the regular season plus Wednesday's 109-90 loss to the Heat in the Play-In Tournament due to a recurrence of the injury. While Ball was able to make an impact on the defensive end and as a passer with averages of 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game, the sprained wrist may at least partially explain his shooting struggles. Ball turned in a 50.4 effective field goal percentage, his lowest rate since 2018-19 (48.8 percent).

Patrick Williams - Muted impact in season-ending loss Williams accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.

The 23-year-old forward averaged 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.0 minutes across 63 appearances, including 36 starts, this season.

Impact Huerter was one of four Chicago players to score double-digit points in Wednesday's Play-In Game loss that ended the team's season.

Across Huerter's 26 regular-season appearances for Chicago, he averaged 13.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes.
