US EditionBulls Guard Anfernee Simons Sidelined and Needs Imaging on Injured Left Wrist
Simons, averaging 15.2 points in six games with the Bulls, will have wrist imaging and a specialist exam to clarify injury severity and recovery timeline.
- On Feb 22, 2026, Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Anfernee Simons will have additional imaging and see a hand specialist on Monday for a clearer diagnosis.
- The team lists the injury as a left wrist sprain, but the severity remains uncertain and he is still sore, after Simons left Saturday's game against Detroit after 13 minutes.
- Earlier this month, Simons has averaged 15.2 points and 28.4 minutes in six games and five starts with the Bulls after playing 49 contests with the Celtics.
- With the Bulls on an eight-game skid, Chicago officially ruled Simons out for Sunday's game, deepening rotation strains and opening more minutes for Rob Dillingham.
- Looking toward the summer, Simons is a free agent in summer of 2026 with a four-year, $100 million contract expiring at season's end, and his first setback complicates the Bulls' post-trade-deadline strategy.
