Sanogo (knee) won't play Friday against the Hawks.
Sanogo hasn't made an NBA appearance since Nov. 11, so his presence shouldn't be missed much. He'll likely see the majority of his opportunities in the G League once healthy.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Sanogo won't play Wednesday against the Bucks due to a right knee effusion.
The same injury kept the two-way player from suiting up for the G League's Windy City Bulls in Tuesday's loss to the Cleveland Charge, and though he's back with the NBA team, Sanogo will remain out Wednesday. The Bulls have both Nikola Vucevic and Jalen Smith on hand to cover all the center minutes, so Sanogo won't be part of the NBA rotation once he moves past the knee issue.

Rotowire
Sanogo (knee) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Expected to play Friday
Rotowire
Sanogo (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Sanogo (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Sanogo had been listed as questionable for the contest due to a right knee effusion, but he was given the green light to play shortly before the opening tip. The second-year big man played four minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers, but he likely won't be part of the rotation Wednesday with Jalen Smith (illness) back in action and expected to reprise his usual role as Nikola Vucevic's top backup.

Rotowire
Sanogo will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Gets start vs. Bucks on Monday
Rotowire
Sanogo will enter the starting five in Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks.
With both Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Jalen Smith (knee) ruled out, Sanogo will receive his first start of the preseason. The 22-year-old is signed to a two-way pact and will likely spend the majority of his time during the regular season with the club's G League affiliate -- the Windy City Bulls.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Explodes for double-double Monday
Rotowire
Sanogo contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Sanogo posted a team-high 16 points and a game-high 15 rebounds while leading the Bulls in playing time. The 22-year-old got the start Monday due to both Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Jalen Smith (knee) being sidelined. Sanogo is signed to a two-way pact with the Bulls and will likely spend the majority of his time with their G League affiliate -- the Windy City Bulls. However, if injury concerns arise for the club in the frontcourt, the second-year big man could step into a larger role off the bench.
Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Inks two-way deal with Chicago
Rotowire
Sanogo agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Bulls on Wednesday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
After going unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft, Sanogo spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way deal with the Bulls and appeared in only nine regular-season NBA games. The 23-year-old will remain on a two-way pact for 2024-25 and will likely spend most of his time in the G League when the Bulls' frontcourt is at full health.
Sanogo closed with 22 points (8-18 FG, 6-9 FT), 20 rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 129-127 victory over the Wizards.
Sanogo took advantage of his first extended minutes of the season by recording his first career 20-rebound game. He had not played more than 11 minutes in any game prior all season. The 22-year-old could be in line for another heavy workload Sunday, depending on whether the Bulls' regular starters are again sidelined.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Logs five minutes in loss
Rotowire
Sanogo finished with one rebound over five minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to New York.
Sanogo played a few extra minutes in the loss, shifting up in the rotation following an ankle injury to Andre Drummond after just five minutes. Although he is not likely to be fantasy-relevant at all, Sanogo could at least be a regular part of the rotation, should Drummond be forced to miss any time moving forward.
