On the other side, the Bulls have two players listed on their injury report for Friday’s game as they have ruled out Coby White and Zach Collins. For White, he remains sidelined due to a calf strain that has caused him to miss every game of the season thus far.

On the surface level, the Sacramento Kings visiting the Chicago Bulls may seem like a run-of-the-mill matchup. However, it's far from that, as players from both

Karl-Anthony Towns remains in the New York Knicks' injury report ahead of their Emirates NBA Cup debut game against the Chicago Bulls on Friday, Oct. 31.

In Monday’s victory over the Hawks, Josh Giddey led the way for the Bulls as he recorded 18 points, 13 rebounds and five assists while Nikola Vucevic added 17 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists of his own.

The Bulls have already ruled out Coby White (right calf), Zach Collins (left scaphoid), Emanuel Miller (G League), Trentyn Flowers (G League), and Lachlan Olbrich (G League). Missing Giddey, along with White and Collins, would certainly test their depth against the Hawks. However, Atlanta is dealing with a few notable injuries of their own.

Towns has appeared in all four of the Knicks’ regular-season outings despite dealing with a tricky lower-body setback, averaging 17.0 points and 13.5 rebounds per game while shooting 35.2% from the field and 33.3% from three.

In Saturday’s victory over the Magic, Josh Giddey led the way for the Bulls as he ended the game with 21 points and eight rebounds while Nikola Vucevic added 15 points and eight rebounds of his own. Now Chicago will try to start the season 3-0 against a Hawks team that has struggled to start the new season.

The Kings have already ruled out Keegan Murray (left thumb) and Nique Clifford (right hamstring) against the Bulls. With Murray sidelined, Ellis has been Sacramento's best defender, so the team could be in trouble if they are both out for Wednesday's game.
