Initially probable for Saturday's game, Huerter is good to go. With Tre Jones (foot) out for at least two weeks, Red Velvet will likely remain in the Bulls' starting lineup for the foreseeable future. This raises Huerter's fantasy ceiling, making him worth rostering in deep leagues.
Jones sprained his left foot during Thursday's game in Sacramento. His absence means Kevin Huerter should remain in the starting lineup, as there would be no need to move Huerter to the bench to make room for Josh Giddey. Red Velvet has been productive enough to merit being rostered in deep leagues when allowed to play starters' minutes in Chicago.
The Bulls announced Saturday that Jones has a left foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
Jones was seen in a walking boot Saturday and is set to miss a period of time. Josh Giddey, who was dealing with an ankle injury but isn't listed on the injury report, is set to return to Chicago's starting lineup in Jones' absence.
Jones (foot) was seen in a walking boot at shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
