Ivey (knee) won't travel with the Bulls for their upcoming five-game road trip, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Ivey could meet the club at some point, this update makes it sound as though the guard will remain out for the length of the road trip, which is scheduled to conclude March 13 in Los Angeles. Head coach Billy Donovan noted that Ivey will remain in Chicago to work on strengthening his leg, per Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, with the hope that he'll be able to take the court again this season. If Ivey doesn't appear during the road trip, his next chance to suit up would arrive March 16 against Memphis.

Ivey will have his left knee injury re-evaluated by medical staff in two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey is dealing with pain in his left knee, and the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year guard to be sidelined for an extended period. He was acquired by the Bulls from the Pistons in early February and has averaged 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 2.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game in four outings (three starts) with Chicago. Ivey's absence means Collin Sexton, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham should all take on expanded roles off the bench behind backcourt starters Josh Giddey and Anfernee Simons.

Ivey (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey is dealing with pain in his left knee and is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set. The 24-year-old guard wasn't included in the rotation during Thursday's loss to Toronto, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves.

Ivey (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired from the Pistons on Feb. 3, Ivey had started three of the Bulls' final four contests before the All-Star break and averaged 29.0 minutes per contest over that stretch. He was expected to see his playing time get squeezed to some degree coming out of the break with the Bulls bringing back guards Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) from multi-game absences, but Ivey's removal from the rotation entirely was surprising. A pending restricted free agent this summer, Ivey could still get a longer evaluation at some point as the Bulls look to determine whether he's part of their future plans, but it may take the team being without another guard before he gets his next opportunity. Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, head coach Billy Donovan said Friday that he supported acting head coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s decision not to play Ivey on Thursday, with Donovan noting that the 24-year-old "has not moved and played as he did in the past" coming off surgery last January to repair a broken fibula in his left leg and another procedure in October to relieve discomfort in his right knee. Ivey's tepid production upon making his season debut in late November was likely a factor in the Pistons' willingness to move him ahead of the trade deadline.

Ivey (undisclosed) checked into Wednesday's game against the Celtics with 6:19 remaining in the first quarter, per the broadcast.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey was announced in the starting lineup ahead of tipoff, though Collin Sexton ultimately got the starting nod. However, Ivey doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury and should be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking in.

Ivey has been replaced by Collin Sexton in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, per the broadcast.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey was slated to start Wednesday's game, but Chicago made a last-second change that moved Sexton into the first unit in Ivey's place. It's unclear if Ivey is dealing with an injury, but the sudden nature of the change doesn't inspire positivity.

Ivey registered 13 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey cobbled together another strong performance, at least in relation to what he has produced thus far this season. In three games since joining the Bulls, Ivey has averaged 12.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers, having started all three games. The eventual return of Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) will complicate things, but until then, Ivey should be rostered in most leagues moving forward.

Ivey registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and three steals over 33 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey was acquired by the Bulls from the Pistons on Wednesday and was given the green light to make his debut with Chicago on Thursday despite the short turnaround. It's also worth noting that he was in the starting lineup for just the third time this season after starting in the majority of his games with Detroit in the three years prior to the 2025-26 campaign. The Bulls' backcourt is crowded with the likes of Josh Giddey (hamstring), Tre Jones (hamstring), Collin Sexton (recently traded) and Anfernee Simons, so what Ivey's role will look long-term remains to be seen.

Ivey will start Thursday in Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey will immediately be thrust into the first unit in Chicago, and it'll be Anfernee Simons, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith joining him in the starting lineup for Thursday's game. Ivey wasn't able to establish himself in the offense in Detroit, but he'll get some time to shine with a change of scenery in Chicago.

Ivey (recently traded) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ivey was dealt from the Pistons to the Bulls on Tuesday, and the team has since announced that he'll be ready to make his Chicago debut Thursday evening. Ivey averaged 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in his final 10 games with Detroit, all off the bench.
