Mysterious Rob Dillingham wrist injury makes Chicago’s chaotic trade deadline even more bizarre

Injuries continue to be an issue for the Chicago Bulls, especially to newcomers. Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simmons are both out with injuries. Now, Rob Dillingham has faltered.

Dillingham suffered a strange wrist injury during Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. Although the Bulls won 130-124 in OT, concerns about the health of players are more uncertain than ever.

Afterwards, according to Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune, head coach Billy Donovan provided an analysis of Dillingham’s injury. Necessarily saying it’s not terrible, but he needs time to get back into the team.

“It’s nothing too serious, but he has some wrist issues that need to be addressed in the offseason,” Donovan said. “He doesn’t feel OK all the time shooting the basketball. I think he’ll be OK once everything gets settled, but it’s something he’s struggling with and dealing with.”

Overall, Dillingham played 20 minutes and finished with five points and four rebounds.

Meanwhile, the bulls are in a very delicate position. In February, they made seven trades before the trade deadline, causing fans and observers to ask more questions about the franchise’s long-term plans.

Dillingham arrived in Chicago from the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of the deal that sent Ayo Dosunmu to Minnesota. Originally, Dillingham was brought in to give him more opportunities to score and play more minutes.

However, with Ivey, Simmons and their injuries, the validity of the Bulls’ decision making over the past month is under even greater scrutiny.

Meanwhile, the Bulls will kick off their five-game road trip in Los Angeles. On Thursday they will play the Lakers and on Friday they will play the Clippers.

罗布·迪林汉姆 (Rob Dillingham) 在对阵尼克斯队的比赛中惨遭空位扣篮失误

罗布·迪林汉姆在周日晚上芝加哥公牛队对阵纽约尼克斯队的比赛中在场上的失态震惊了主场观众。

迪林汉姆的 NBA 职业生涯第二个赛季已经过半。他最初代表明尼苏达森林狼队效力,后来明尼苏达森林狼队在 2025-26 赛季中期将他交易到公牛队。

这位年轻球员获得了更多的上场时间,有机会在芝加哥的轮换阵容中展示自己的球技。然而,他的经验不足有时会表现出来,这肯定发生在第三节的最后几分钟。他在尝试扣篮时进行了快攻,但他以惊人的方式没有成功。

罗布·迪林厄姆在比赛中未能坚持下去,这是一次残酷的失误。除此之外,公牛队在主场险些输给尼克斯队,连败继续。

投篮选择、球的移动和失误在这场比赛中发挥着重要作用。尼克斯队在所有三项比赛中都取得了胜利,他们的总投篮命中率为 45%,助攻 27 次,失误数仅为 13 次。而公牛队的情况则不同,他们只有 40% 的总机会转化率,送出 24 次助攻,失误数为 17 次。

在这场失利中,芝加哥队有五名球员得分达到两位数。马塔斯·布泽利斯 (Matas Buzelis) 拿下 15 分和 4 个篮板。他全场12投4中,其中三分线外9投3中,罚球线5投4中。贾伦·史密斯拿下12分和5个篮板,艾萨克·奥科罗得到12分和6个篮板,盖尔雄·亚布塞莱得到11分和13个篮板,帕特里克·威廉姆斯得到10分和8次助攻。

芝加哥队本赛季战绩跌至24胜34负,在东部积分榜上排名第12位。他们领先于华盛顿奇才队和布鲁克林篮网队,同时落后于密尔沃基雄鹿队和夏洛特黄蜂队。

公牛队经历了九连败,他们希望在下一场比赛中结束连败。美国东部时间 2 月 24 日晚上 8 点,他们将主场迎战黄蜂队。

Rob Dillingham has brutal wide-open dunk miss vs. Knicks

Rob Dillingham shocked the home crowd with his mistake on the court in the Chicago Bulls’ matchup against the New York Knicks on Sunday night.

Dillingham is halfway through the second season of his NBA career. He initially represented the Minnesota Timberwolves before being traded to the Bulls midway through the 2025–26 campaign.

The youngster has earned more playing time, giving him the opportunity to showcase his skills in Chicago’s rotation. However, their inexperience began to show at times, which was certainly the case in the final minutes of the third quarter. He went on a fast break while attempting a dunk, but was surprisingly unsuccessful.

It was a brutal miss for Rob Dillingham during the game. Additionally, the Bulls faltered in a close loss to the Knicks at home, resulting in the continuation of their losing streak.

Shot selection, ball movement and turnovers made the difference in this matchup. The Knicks won all three categories after making 45% of their total shots, dishing out 27 assists and limiting their turnovers to just 13. It wasn’t the same for the Bulls as they only converted 40% of their total chances, dished out 24 assists and turned the ball over 17 times.

Five players scored in double figures for Chicago in the loss. Matas Buzelis led the way with a stat line of 15 points and four rebounds. He shot 4 of 12 from the field, including 3 of 9 from beyond the arc and 4 of 5 from the free-throw line. Jalen Smith came next with 12 points and five rebounds, Isaac Okoro had 12 points and six rebounds, Guerschon Yabusele put up 11 points and 13 rebounds, while Patrick Williams added 10 points and eight assists.

Chicago fell to a 24–34 record on the season and finished 12th in the Eastern Conference standings. They are above the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets while trailing the Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets.

After nine consecutive losses, the Bulls will look to end this streak in their next match. They will be at home when they host the Hornets on February 24th at 8 PM ET.
