Chicago Bulls rule out two players ahead of home opener vs. Wizards
The Chicago Bulls are at the United Center for the first time in the 2026-27 NBA season. After going 1-1 on the road to open the season, including a win over Milwaukee on Friday, the Bulls are hoping to give the home fans something to cheer about.
But they will be without two players as part of the rotation, and one player is dealing with an injury from Friday.
Ahead of Saturday’s game, Bulls head coach Tiago Splitter met the media and ruled out both Noa Essengue and Patrick Williams for the game. Williams has yet to appear in a game this season, missing the first two as coaches decisions.
That’s disappointing seeing that the Bulls did draft him No. 4 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft and even extended him. While he’s struggled, being unplayable is a tough situation.
For Essengue, he is having issues with light sensitivity after taking that blow to head in Bucks game, per KC Johnson. He also reports that Essengue is not in concussion protocol.
The former lottery pick of the Bulls in the 2025 NBA Draft missed time last season with an injury and it hurt his development. So far this season, he’s played in both games and is averaging 2.5 points, and 2 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from the field.
It appears to be a minor injury for Essengue, barring anything that pops up between now and the next game on Monday night in Boston.
Chicago and Washington tip off at 7 pm. at the United Center for Saturday’s home opener. Then it’s back on the road for another game.
