In early December, Huerter was <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/chicago-bulls\/bulls-news-kevin-huerter-chicago-injury-list\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">placed on the injured list<\/a> due to an adductor issue.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls will look to build off their win on Wednesday as they face the Nets on Friday on the road and Sunday at home. Huerter has played in 35 games and is averaging 11.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Given the <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/chicago-bulls\/bulls-news-chicago-11-players-injury-report-hornets-clash\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bulls&#8217; injury struggles<\/a>, Huerter has found himself starting in 10\u00a0games, a slight departure from his role coming off the bench. During that stretch, he averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.<\/p>\n<p>So, when it comes to the question is Kevin Huerter playing tonight vs. the Nets, the answer is maybe.<\/p>\n<p>Bulls injury report<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Huerter \u2013 Probable \u2013 Right hip tightness<\/p>\n<p>Juilian Phillips \u2013 Questionable \u2013 Right wrist sprain<\/p>\n<p>Josh Giddey \u2013 Out \u2013 Left hamstring strain<\/p>\n<p>Zach Collins \u2013 Out \u2013 Right toe sprain<\/p>\n<p>Nets injury report<\/p>\n<p>Haywood Highsmith \u2013 Out \u2013 Right knee surgery recovery<\/p>\n<p>Ziaire Williams \u2013 Out \u2013 Return to competition reconditioning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Bulls visit the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
