McDermott (knee) is walking fine and said he is day-to-day, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
McDermott experienced swelling in his knee after practicing, leading to some fears that he may have suffered a significant setback, but that does not seem to be the case. The Bulls have a few days off before returning to action Wednesday against the Nets.

McDermott (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Per Johnson, McDermott's knee flared up during practice again and will be re-examined a team doctor. This could mean McDermott is out for an extended period of time, as a precaution for the rookie forward. Chicago's next game is Wednesday against the Nets.

McDermott (knee) went through shootaround and the Bulls are hopeful he will be able to play Saturday, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
He is still a game-time decision. The Bulls could be at full health Saturday, which would mean McDermott would only see limited run off the bench, limiting his fantasy value.

McDermott (knee) was a full participant at Friday's practice and is in line to return Saturday against the Warriors, the Chicago Tribune reports.
McDermott has missed the past two games for Chicago with an ankle injury, although his outlook is positive for a return Saturday. He's been limited off the bench to just 11.6 minutes per game and that will more than likely continue if he does in fact take the court against the Warriors.

McDermott was held scoreless in seven minutes Wednesday against the Bucks as he did not attempt a shot, but he did record two rebounds.
McDermott has shown flashes of offensive prowess, but he didn't play much Wednesday as the Bulls finally had their full complement of guards and small forwards. McDermott may put up the occasional potent offensive performance, but his limited playing time hurts his fantasy value.
