Tre Jones Sidelined Monday with Ankle Injury; Bulls Backcourt Adjusts

Tre Jones, the 25-year-old Chicago Bulls guard, has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to an ankle injury, marking his likely second consecutive missed game. He was initially doubtful for Monday, November 17, 2025, with his next opportunity to play scheduled for Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. His absence, coupled with Coby White resting, is expected to increase usage for Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, and Kevin Huerter in the Bulls' backcourt. Jones signed a three-year, $24 million contract in June 2025 and averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.1 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 2025. A Duke product, he was the 2020 ACC Player and Defensive Player of the Year.
