The Bulls assigned Simonovic to the G League on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic was summoned from the G League prior to the All-Star break and logged a pair of minutes in the team's final contest of the first half versus Milwaukee. However, he has just three NBA contests under his belt this season and hasn't played more than two minutes, so he will likely continue to move between the levels so he's ready if called upon.

Simonovic was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic spent the last two weeks in the G League but will rejoin the parent club ahead of a back-to-back before the All-Star break. He's appeared in just two NBA matchups this year and has averaged 1.5 minutes per game. However, Chicago will be without Derrick Jones (groin) and DeMar DeRozan (thigh) in the frontcourt Wednesday against Indiana, so it's possible Simonovic sees some playing time behind Patrick Williams.

Simonovic totaled 27 points (10-13 FG, 7-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 39 minutes in Windy City's 115-112 win over Grand Rapids on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The big man was nearly perfect from the field and turned in a blistering effort from behind the arc. Simonovic was less productive in Tuesday's loss with a 3-for-12 showing from the field, but he still churned out an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double. The center should continue to play a key role for the Bulls following the All-Star break.

Simonovic supplied 21 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Windy City's 144-133 win over the Herd on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic was assigned to Windy City on Wednesday after spending just two days with the parent club, and he commemorated his return with a standout effort. The 23-year-old center has scored 20 points or more in five of his seven games at the G League level overall, and he's now recorded double-digit rebounds on three occasions as well.

Simonovic (neck) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic was called up to the NBA on Monday and is expected to be available for Tuesday's contest. However, his presence should have minimal impact on the Bulls' rotation considering he has appeared in just two games this season.

Chicago recalled Simonovic (neck) from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be rejoining the NBA team, it's unclear if Simonovic is healthy enough to suit up for the Bulls' next game Tuesday against the Clippers. Simonovic's last appearance in either the G League or the NBA came on Jan. 19, as he's otherwise been sidelined with a right neck strain for the past week and a half.

Simonovic will not take part in Saturday's game versus the Magic due to a right cervical strain.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic has spent a lot of time with the Bulls' G League affiliate, appearing in only two games for a total of three minutes for Chicago. After being sent back to the G League on Tuesday, it seems Simonovic is back with the big club, likely to receive treatment from Chicago's doctors. It's unclear at this point how much time he will require to gain clearance for his return, but Simonovic's absence shouldn't affect the Bulls' rotation.

Chicago assigned Simonovic to the G League's Windy City Bulls on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Simonovic played just one minute in his lone appearance during his recent stint with the NBA club and will head back to the G League to see some extended playing time. He's averaging 14.0 points in 28.1 minutes across 23 appearances with Windy City.
