In a surprising turn during Monday’s win over the Nuggets, Jalen Smith posted 16 points, eight rebounds, and three three-pointers before experiencing a right shoulder injury in a tussle with Nikola Jokić. Despite a brief exit for evaluation, Smith returned to finish the game but was seen with ice on his shoulder post-game. The Bulls play the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, and Smith’s status remains uncertain pending further updates.
