Our long national nightmare is finally over.
After three months, the Chicago Bulls faithful will at last behold our team in action once again! Sure, our six-month wait for games that actually count continues apace, but this is better than nothing.
New Bulls EVP of basketball operations Bryson Graham’s two first-round draft picks, lottery selection Caleb Wilson and No. 15 pick Dailyn Swain, will get an opportunity to play a roster loaded with veteran NBA-level competition at long last. Given that this is just the preseason. However, Wilson and the rest of Chicago’s starters likely won’t suit up for more than 20-ish minutes.
Swain — whose spot in new head coach Tiago Splitter’s rotation is hardly guaranteed even during a developmental year — may earn some real preseason run. Hopefully he’ll play better without being asked to handle the rock too much.

What To Watch For
Will Dillon Brooks effectively goad Matas Buzelis (presumably his primary cover) or Caleb Wilson into a fight? It only took five minutes for his antics to frustrate new Detroit Pistons forward John Collins enough that Collins tried to choke him on Monday. Given that it’s the preseason and there are no actual stakes, presumably Buzelis and Wilson will stay focused on the task at hand.John Collins grabs Dillon Brooks by the throat. ? pic.twitter.com/ES4M4UCL3x
— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) October 5, 2026 Phoenix traded for Miles Bridges to add some size, scoring and toughness to its frontline around Devin Booker. How he fares could help determine whether or not the Suns can better their 45-37 finish and first-round playoff booting last year. Nominal starting center Nicolas Claxton and one of his best-compensated backups, Zach Collins, will sit out the Suns clash. That should free up primo minutes for not just 3-and-D trade candidate Jalen Smith, but also two-way signing Tobe Awaka and standard roster bigs Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller. There’s not really much of a point to preseason games at all, if you ask this reporter. They put key players at superfluous risk for injury in an already too-long regular season, and most rotation pieces typically sit out the majority of the second halves anyway. The real upshot is that games are occasionally played in weird locales, in an effort to give out-of-market basketball fans an opportunity to attend NBA-caliber contests. Still, Wednesday’s clash will offer fans a sneak peek at Powell, Buddy Hield, new two-way signing Jordan Hawkins, and training camp pieces Brandon Boston Jr., Jalen Bridges, Orlando Robinson, and Drew Peterson in Bulls gear for the first time. We’ll also get to see how new head coach Tiago Splitter opts to mix and match his rotations, and at least we’ll have some hint at who will make the cut in a regular season Chicago lineup that could go 11 men deep. Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks and Detroit Pistons forward John Collins. Injury ReportChicago Bulls
