Dunleavy (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game, Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky reports. He is definitely making progress, and was a game-time call Friday, but he will indeed sit at least one more game out. Now that he has been a full participant in practice Wednesday, his return should be just around the corner.

Dunleavy (ankle) is a game-time decision Friday, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but did not play in Thursday's game. Considering how long Dunleavy has been out, he could be eased into action if he is able to return Friday, so it may be better go in a different direction in daily leagues.

Dunleavy (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Spurs, the Chicago Tribune reports. Dunleavy took full part in practice Wednesday and was considered a candidate to return to the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Spurs. That apparently will not be the case, so Kirk Hinrich will likely receive another start. However, coach Tom Thibedeau hasn't ruled him out for Friday, but his status is questionable for the game.

Dunleavy (ankle) is a game-time call for Thursday's game agains the Spurs, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports. Dunleavy is close to a return after sitting out the previous 10 games, but a decision likely won't come until he's able to assess his condition during warmups. If he's given the green light, he'll likely take Kirk Hinrich's place in the starting lineup. If he's ultimately ruled out, Friday in Dallas will be his next opportunity to take the court.

Dunleavy (ankle) took part in a full practice Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. Dunleavy has missed 10 straight games with an ankle injury, but his return to full contact practice indicates a return is near. Whether that will come Thursday against the Spurs remains to be seen, but Dunleavy should be considered questionable for that contest, as well as Friday's matchup with the Mavericks. When Dunleavy returns, Tony Snell and Kirk Hinrich should see reductions in minutes.

Dunleavy (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Cavaliers, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. Dunleavy will miss a tenth straight game since suffering an ankle injury against the Nuggets on New Year's Day. Nikola Mirotic should continue to see increased minutes in his absence, as could Tony Snell, who has been a surprising DNP-CD in each of the last two games.

Dunleavy (ankle) will not play against the Celtics on Friday, Nick Friedell of ESPN reports. Dunleavy was in serious doubt for Friday's game and he remains in doubt for Saturday's game against the Hawks as well. In his continued absence, Tony Snell will see significant time on the court moving forward.

Dunleavy (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Wizards, and he could still be a ways away from returning, Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report reports. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that he expects Dunleavy to return in four-to-five days, but Dunleavy himself said at Wednesday's shootaround that he's still unable to run comfortably. If his condition improves, a return over the weekend is certainly possible, but it seems likely he could remain out into next week. Continue to monitor his status on a game-to-game basis with the Bulls playing Friday, Saturday and Monday.

Dunleavy (ankle) will not play Monday against the Magic, the Chicago Tribune reports.
