Jalen Smith Probable for Bulls’ Game with Wizards on January 1st Despite Ankle Sprain
Jalen Smith of the Chicago Bulls is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on January 1st. This injury has been persistent, as he was previously out due to left ankle soreness.
What It Means
Smith’s probable return is important for the Bulls. His stats this season include an average of 8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He has been effective in rebounding, finishing in the top five at his position in four games this season.
The Bulls may rely on Patrick Williams if Smith’s condition worsens. Williams plays more minutes and scores slightly more points per game than Smith. The team will hope that Smith can contribute effectively against the Wizards.
