Terry is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Hawks. The Bulls will be without Josh Giddey (ankle), Lonzo Ball (illness) and Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles), so Terry will play in the wing alongside Zach LaVine. This will be Terry's first start of the season and the third of his three-year NBA career. He's averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 13.5 minutes per game in 20 appearances off the bench in 2024-25.

Latest Bulls News
Dalen Terry : Moving to starting role
Terry is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Hawks. The Bulls will be without Josh Giddey (ankle), Lonzo Ball (illness) and Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles), so Terry will play in the wing alongside Zach LaVine. This will be Terry's first start of the season and the third of his three-year NBA career. He's averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 13.5 minutes per game in 20 appearances off the bench in 2024-25.
Matas Buzelis : Won’t play Thursday
Buzelis (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports. Buzelis will miss his second game of the season due to the illness, and his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Milwaukee. With the rookie joining Lonzo Ball (illness), Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles) and Josh Giddey (ankle) on the sideline, Talen Horton-Tucker, Julian Phillips and Dalen Terry are candidates for increased roles.
Ayo Dosunmu : Out Thursday
Dosunmu (Achilles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports. Dosunmu will miss his first matchup of the season due to right Achilles tendinopathy. With the 24-year-old joining Lonzo Ball (illness), Matas Buzelis (illness) and Josh Giddey (ankle) on the sideline, Talen Horton-Tucker and Dalen Terry are candidates for increased roles. Dosunmu's next chance to feature will come Saturday against Milwaukee.
Josh Giddey : Ruled out Thursday
Giddey (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports. Giddey was initially listed as questionable for Thursday, but the floor general didn't recover in time and won't suit up for this contest. This means the Bulls will be quite depleted in their backcourt, as Lonzo Ball (illness) and Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles) have been ruled out as well. The Bulls will hope Giddey doesn't miss a lot of time, with the team's next game coming Saturday against the Bucks.
Matas Buzelis : Questionable against Atlanta
Buzelis is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Hawks due to an illness. Buzelis has become a consistent member of Chicago's rotation, averaging 7.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17.9 minutes in nine appearances since the beginning of December. If the rookie forward is unable to suit up against Atlanta, Julian Phillips, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Lonzo Ball : Officially ruled out
Ball (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Hawks. Ball will miss his second straight contest Thursday after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to an illness. Ball's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Lonzo Ball : Doubtful for Thursday
Ball (illness) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Hawks. Ball will likely miss a second straight game due to an illness. Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles) and Josh Giddey (ankle) are both questionable, so the Bulls may be shorthanded in the backcourt against Trae Young and the Hawks.
Ayo Dosunmu : Iffy for Thursday
Dosunmu is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to right Achilles tendinopathy. Since being inserted into the starting lineup against Atlanta on Nov. 22, Dosunmu has averaged 14.4 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.4 minutes per game across his past 14 appearances. Lonzo Ball (illness) is doubtful and Josh Giddey (ankle) is questionable, so the Bulls are in danger of being shorthanded in the backcourt against Trae Young and the Hawks.
