The Bulls are expected to waive Bradley on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bradley has appeared in just 12 contests this season and hasn't played more than four minutes in any of those games. His release will open up a roster sport for the Bulls to add Patrick Beverley via free agency. Wojnarowski adds that there are still plenty of teams in the mix for a backup center, so Bradley could find a new team soon, though he's unlikely to garner a substantial role anywhere.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Questionable Sunday
Rotowire
Bradley (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Warriors, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Bradley has missed five consecutive games due to COVID-19 protocols and is at risk of missing a sixth. However, he plays a minimal role with the Bulls, so his status will not have much impact on the team's rotation.

Rotowire
Bradley (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is listed as out for Monday's game in Boston.
Bradley hasn't been a regular part of the Bulls' rotation at any point this season, so his continued absence Monday won't affect how head coach Billy Donovan doles out the minutes among his frontcourt players.

He'll need to clear protocols before returning, though Bradley isn't a regular rotation member even when healthy.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Logs season-high five minutes
Rotowire
Bradley recorded two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds across four minutes during Friday's 114-91 loss to New York.
Bradley saw a few extra minutes in the loss, just the eighth time he has seen action this season. Unfortunately, the Bulls were just plain terrible in this one, continuing what has been a hugely disappointing season. As for Bradley, while he does have some nice per-minute upside, his role is far too small to warrant any fantasy attention.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Not called upon
Rotowire
Bradley did not play Saturday in the Bulls' 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
Despite Andre Drummond (shoulder) being inactive, a heavy workload for Nikola Vucevic and a platoon of small-ball options absorbed the minutes instead of Bradley. Bradley appears to solely factor in as depth/matchup-specific defense in Chicago.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Opts into player option for 2022-23
Rotowire
Bradley exercised his $2 million player option for the 2022-23 campaign, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bradley made 55 appearances last year -- his first with Chicago -- and averaged 3.0 points and 3.4 rebounds across 10.0 minutes per game. Currently, the 2017 first-round pick projects to be one of numerous backups to Nikola Vucevic. However, the Bulls are rumored to be in the market for frontcourt depth this offseason, so things are certainly subject to change before the regular season starts.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Nears double-double off bench
Rotowire
Bradley ended Sunday's 124-120 victory over the Timberwolves with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes.
Bradley had fallen out of the Bulls' rotation recently, but he saw increased work in Sunday's regular-season finale with several key contributors resting. Although he came within two rebounds of a double-double against Minnesota, he should revert to his usual role when the playoffs get underway.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Solid effort off bench
Rotowire
Bradley supplied 10 points (5-7 FG), six rebounds and three steals over 16 minutes during Sunday's 130-116 win over the Trail Blazers.
The North Carolina product logged only 10 total minutes over the previous four games, but he served as the backup to Nikola Vucevic on Sunday while Tyler Cook ended up as a DNP-CD. Even after one of his better showings of the season, Bradley doesn't make for an overly appealing fantasy option in most fantasy leagues. His workload has been far too inconsistent, and he's never flashed enough upside to warrant holding on a wait-and-see basis.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Racks up four defensive counters
Rotowire
Bradley registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), two assists, two blocks and two steals in 14 minutes during Monday's 119-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
Bradley played a limited role off the bench in the loss but still managed to chip in four defensive counters. Despite an element of upside, Bradley is firmly behind Nikola Vucevic in the rotation and is not touching the standard-league landscape at this point. As a reference point, he has not played more than 15 minutes since Nov. 22. However, in his last seven games, he has managed at least one block in six of those, making him a deep-league streaming option.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Not available Monday
Rotowire
Bradley cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols but is still listed as out for Monday's contest against the Magic for conditioning purposes, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Bradley was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Dec. 26 and has been sidelined since. After Monday's game, the Bulls don't play again until Friday, so that should give the backup center ample time to regain his conditioning before returning to NBA action. When he eventually makes his return, he's expected to reclaim his usual backup role behind Nikola Vucevic.

Bulls' Tony Bradley: Lands in COVID-19 protocols
Rotowire
Bradley was placed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Sunday and is set to miss time, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
Bradley and Alfonzo McKinnie are the latest Bulls players to land in the protocols. In Bradley's absence, Tyler Cook is the likeliest candidate to enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Nikola Vucevic.
