ANALYSIS: According to Wojnarowski, the Bulls are down to just nine eligible players in advance of their next contest against the Detroit Pistons. Stanley Johnson, who the team acquired via the hardship exception as a replacement player, is also in health and safety protocols. Chicago must have eight eligible for when they play the Pistons Tuesday, and if not, it could force the league to postpone games for the first time this season.
