McDermott (concussion) won't play Friday against the Cavaliers, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott's absence from Friday's matchup will mark his eighth straight missed game due to persisting concussion symptoms. Since he continues to remain in the league-mandated protocol, it will be necessary for McDermott to participate in a controlled practice before nearing his return to the court. In the forward's absence, Nikola Mirotic and Denzel Valentine could see a boost in playing time.

McDermott (concussion) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's absence will mark the seventh straight game on the sidelines for McDermott, who just can't shake his lingering concussion symptoms and remains in the league-mandated protocol. He'll need to go through a controlled practice before ultimately being cleared, so once that happens, he should be considered on the brink of a return. His next shot to take the court will be Friday against the Cavaliers. Look for Nikola Mirotic and Denzel Valentine to be the main beneficiaries of McDermott's absence.

McDermott has suffered two concussions on different occasions within the past month, causing him to be sidelined for Chicago's six-game road trip. Right now, the 24-year-old is partaking in the league's concussion protocol and could see his way back to the court Wednesday against the Lakers.

McDermott (concussion) was cleared for non-contact and shooting drills Monday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott was absent for all of Chicago's six-game road trip and still appears to be dealing with some lingering concussion symptoms. He'll continue to go through the league's concussion protocol this week with his next opportunity to return being Wednesday against the Lakers.

Coach Fred Hoiberg acknowledged Thursday that while McDermott (concussion) is showing improvement with his condition, he's "still having symptoms," ESPN.com's Nick Friedell reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has been sidelined for the entirety of the Bulls' six-game road trip and will likely be reevaluated once the team returns to Chicago following Friday's game against the 76ers. Since the 24-year-old has already endured two separate concussions within the last month, McDermott may be held to more stringent standards as he looks to advance through the NBA's concussion protocol, but for the time being, he'll aim to get back on the court when the Bulls play their next home game Nov. 30 against the Lakers.

McDermott (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets and Friday's game against the 76ers, ESPN.com's Nick Friedell reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has already missed four games, and with the forward still under the concussion protocol, he'll have an additional two absences tacked onto the ledger. Nikola Mirotic has been logging more time at small forward while McDermott has been out, with Denzel Valentine also benefiting from some additional run on the wing.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Fred Hoiberg indicated that McDermott is out for the Los Angeles portion of the team's upcoming road trip, which officially keeps McDermott sidelined for the next three games. However, coach Hoiberg didn't rule out the fact that McDermott may miss the entire road trip, which would add on two additional absences and give him his next opportunity to see the court in a Nov. 30 matchup with the Lakers. That said, Denzel Valentine could have additional opportunities on the wing with McDermott out for an extended period of time.

McDermott (concussion) will not play in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Fred Hoiberg was unable to give any specific updates on the injury, but McDermott is likely still dealing with some lingering symptoms and will be held out for a second consecutive game. McDermott will have to pass through all stages of the NBA's concussion protocol before being fully cleared, but his next shot to take the court will be Saturday against the Clippers.

McDermott is dealing with a concussion and will not play Tuesday against Portland, Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott sustained the concussion while taking a nasty fall on a drive to the rim during Sunday's win over the Wizards. Coach Fred Hoiberg said the Creighton product will not make the trip to Portland with the team Tuesday and also called McDermott "doubtful" for Thursday's matchup with the Jazz. In McDermott's absence, expect to see more of Nikola Mirotic off the bench, while Jimmy Butler could be thrust into an even larger role, temporarily.

McDermott scored 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 98-95 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

While the final production numbers were not out of the ordinary for McDermott, he exceed his previous season high for minutes, which was 27. Some of those extra minutes appear to come at the expense of Taj Gibson, who was the only starter to play fewer minutes than his season average.
