The Chicago Bulls have changed the direction of their entire season after moving off Zach LaVine, trading the guard to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal. Despite a bizarre blowout win against the Philadelphia 76ers, it has mainly been losses for the Bulls as they enter Wednesday as the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference.

On their schedule Wednesday night will be the Los Angeles Clippers, a team that is trying to contend, unlike the Bulls, following their recent acquisitions. While the Bulls' recent win over the 76ers came without their two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, Chicago will continue to be without him heading into their next contest.

Bulls downgrade Nikola Vucevic to out, so look for Zach Collins to make second straight start.

Ayo Dosunmu still listed as questionable but he didn’t do much at shootaround other than get shots up at end. Won’t be surprised to see him sit again.

As of the recent NBA injury report, Vucevic is listed as out for Chicago as he nurses tightness in his right calf. Vucevic has been downgraded from doubtful to out, as it will mark his third absence of the season.

Now the team's leading scorer, Vucevic has appeared in 56 games for the Bulls this season averaging 19.1 points and 10.3 rebounds. A name that was floated around for a potential deal at the NBA trade deadline, Chicago stayed put as Vucevic is set to expire on his current deal after the 2025-26 season.
