Jalen Smith, power forward for the Chicago Bulls, is dealing with left ankle soreness and will not play. This news comes as a setback for the Bulls, who will miss his contributions on the court.
What It Means
The absence of Jalen Smith impacts the Chicago Bulls’ rotation. Smith has been contributing an average of 7.9 points per game and 5.5 rebounds this season. His shooting accuracy stands at 47%, making him a reliable option when healthy.
