Caleb Wilson (Chicago Bulls) is listed out — Wilson (hand) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. (report of 2026-11-12), per the league's injury report.

Zach Collins listed as questionable for next game
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the Bulls managed to lose this game, but it's clear that injuries are starting to take a toll on them. Zach Collins has been dealing with a respiratory illness and is listed as questionable for their next game, while Norman Powell is nursing low back spasms. Tobe Awaka is also feeling tightness in his lower back, which could be a major concern if he's not able to recover quickly.
And let's not forget about Nic Claxton, who surprisingly isn't on the injury report for the Bulls. I'm not sure what that means, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on going forward. The fact that Jaylin Sellers is out due to a two-way contract doesn't help matters either.
It's worth noting that the Bulls' struggles are not just limited to their performance on the court. They're also dealing with some internal issues, including a lack of cohesion and chemistry among their players. It's going to take more than just one win to turn things around for this team.
