Shams Charania: Free agent guard Tre Jones has agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal to return to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management finalized the new deal with Bulls officials tonight.
Julia Poe: Still some optimism that Lonzo Ball could return for a playoffs series if the Bulls advance. Tre Jones out of the boot, but unlikely to be ready for a first round series if it comes to that.

KC Johnson: Lonzo Ball is out for Wednesday. Dalen Terry (calf) didn’t practice fully. Tre Jones is out of boot but can only walk for now. He’s out.
Austin Krell: Justin Edwards, Quentin Grimes, and Guerschon Yabusele are questionable for tomorrow's season finale between the Sixers and Bulls. Kyle Lowry, Andre Drummond, and Kelly Oubre Jr. are out. Josh Giddey, Lonzo Ball, Ayo Dosunmu, and Tre Jones are out for Chicago.
KC Johnson: Lonzo Ball and Tre Jones remain out. Donovan said he’d be willing to play Ball in Play In without any regular-season action if Ball progresses but that Ball would have “short leash.” Jones remains in walking boot.
Julia Poe: Tre Jones is still in that walking boot. Has experienced some improvement — he can take the boot off and move around a little — but still a ways off from returning.
Joe Cowley: Tre Jones and the foot sprain could be running out of runway for a return. Still in the walking boot, according to Billy Donovan.

Harrison Ingram: “I mean, it’s a way different game — G League, NBA, college — and, you know, they’re great at teaching. You see, you know, there’s a lot of people who have been through this program and come down to the G League den. You’ve seen Derrick White, Dejonte Murray, I mean, Tre Jones. A lot of people come down and form successful careers. So for me, I’m just here to learn to try to win.”
Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Jones was still in a walking boot and experiencing pain. “The biggest thing is going to end up being, or at least the hope is, that he does come out of the boot and is pain-free,” Donovan said Saturday. “If he still has some pain after the two weeks, I don’t know what the doctor’s recommendation would be — does he stay in the boot, does he get out of it? They want to see him walking without a boot without any pain. “It has subsided from where it was. He has the boot on all day, and then he’s not sleeping with it, but they want to keep that foot pretty immobile for at least those two weeks.”
