Bulls guard Jaden Ivey will miss at least two weeks due to left knee soreness, per the team's announcement. The 24-year forward, acquired from Detroit in a February trade, had been ramping up minutes after returning from a broken left fibula in 2025 and a right knee procedure in October.

In four games with Chicago, he averaged 11.5 points and 28.9 minutes per game but struggled with explosiveness, per coach Billy Donovan. Medical staff cited the need to rebuild leg strength before reevaluation. *This development disrupts Chicago's trade-deadline hopes, as Ivey's absence leaves a void in backcourt depth.*
