Simonovic cleared the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic has only made four appearances for the Bulls this season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact Chicago's game plan. Nonetheless, COVID-19 continues to ravaged the Bulls' locker room, as Simonovic is now the 17th player to enter COVID-19 protocols this season.

Simonovic was recalled by Chicago on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic spent nearly two weeks with the Windy City Bulls but will now rejoin the parent club. He's appeared in just one NBA game this year.

The Bulls assigned Simonovic to the G League's Windy City Bulls on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Even with top center Nikola Vucevic (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) having missed the past week and a half, Simonovic hasn't been able to crack the rotation in Chicago. The rookie second-round pick is still waiting to make his NBA debut.

Simonovic was recalled from the G League on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Nikola Vucevic (COVID-19 protocols) out for at least 10 days, the organization is bringing up Simonovic for extra center help behind Tony Bradley. Simonovic was the 44th overall pick in this summer's draft. He's played two G League games and averaged 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 33.9 minutes.

Simonovic totaled 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot over 37 minutes Saturday in a loss to Fort Wayne.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic started the NBA season on Chicago's roster but didn't get into any games and was subsequently assigned to the club's G League squad. The 22-year-old was a second-round draft pick by Chicago last November and averaged 12.0 points and 4.4 rebounds for the team's Las Vegas Summer League club. However, he's likely to spend most of the campaign in the G League given the NBA Bulls' frontcourt depth and playoff aspirations.

Chicago assigned Simonovic to the G League's Windy City Bulls on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic will join Windy City as the G League affiliate begins training camp ahead of the 2021-22 season. Though he isn't one of the Bulls' two two-way players, the 22-year-old big man could end up spending most of his inaugural NBA campaign with Windy City, as Chicago doesn't have regular minutes available for him. Simonovic didn't appear in any of the Bulls' first three games of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Simonovic sat out the Bulls' preseason opener due to a sprained right thumb. However, with news that he practiced fully Thursday, there's certainly a shot he plays Friday against the Pelicans.
