Liddell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Sits out Friday with sore knee
Rotowire
Liddell wasn't available Friday in the Bulls' 109-95 win over the Hornets due to a sore left knee.
Liddell is a two-way player who hasn't been a regular part of the rotation at the NBA level this season, but the Bulls likely would have wanted to have him on hand as frontcourt depth while center Nikola Vucevic (illness) missed Friday's contest. Assuming Vucevic's illness isn't a long-term concern and he's able to return to the lineup in the coming days, Liddell probably won't be needed to fill minutes once he moves past his knee issue.

Rotowire
Liddell (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Liddell is available for Friday's contest but isn't expected to make a big impact in fantasy. He's made just two appearances all season long, and it would be fair to say he's currently out of the Bulls' regular rotation.

Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Liddell is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a right elbow contusion.
The fact that Liddell has a probable tag for Friday's contest suggests he should play in some capacity. That said, his availability shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, as he's going to be limited to just spare frontcourt minutes in a best-case scenario.

Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Joining Chicago on two-way pact
Rotowire
The Bulls signed Liddell to a two-way deal Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The Illinois native will latch on with Chicago for the 2024-25 season, though he will likely spend the majority of his time with the Windy City Bulls of the G League. The 23-year-old played for New Orleans last season, during which he averaged 0.5 points and 0.6 rebounds across only 2.9 minutes per game in just eight regular-season appearances.
Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Part of Bulls' training camp roster
Rotowire
Liddell is part of the Bulls' roster for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 regular season, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
The Suns waived Liddell in August, but the former Ohio State standout will have a shot at competing for a roster spot with a Bulls organization that might be headed for a rebuild sooner than later. Liddell made eight appearances for the Pelicans in the 2023-24 regular season, but he was limited to just 2.9 minutes per game, as he spent most of his time with the Birmingham Squadron in the G League.
The Suns waived Liddell on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Liddell was traded twice this summer. First, the Hawks acquired him from the Pelicans in the return package for Dejounte Murray. Then, Liddell was traded to Phoenix in exchange for David Roddy. Now, Liddell finds himself as a free agent a month before training camp and will likely have to settle for a G League opportunity. The 2022 second-round pick has made just eight NBA appearances, which all came with New Orleans last season.

Suns' E.J. Liddell: Traded to Phoenix
Rotowire
The Hawks are trading Liddell to the Suns in exchange for David Roddy on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
This is the second time Liddell has gotten traded in less than a month, as he was traded from New Orleans to Atlanta on June 26 as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Liddell will compete for a depth frontcourt option for the Suns, but his chances of earning a meaningful role are very slim.
The Hawks acquired Liddell along with Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels and two futurue first-round picks on Friday in exchange for Dejounte Murray, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Liddell wasn't part of the New Orleans rotation this past season, as he averaged just 0.5 points and 0.6 rebounds across 2.9 minutes in eight appearances. He will now compete for a roster spot as a depth frontcourt option in Atlanta.

Rotowire

Liddell saw rare playing time in the loss, as the Pelicans were blown out on their home court. The fact that he was in the rotation tells you everything you need to know about the Pelicans' status right now. They will look to salvage some pride when the two teams face off again in Game 4, also in New Orleans.
