On Wednesday evening, the Chicago Bulls will host the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center for the play-in tournament.
For the game, the Bulls could be without one of their best players, as Andre Drummond is on the injury report.
The former All-Star has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out action (if he doesn't play).
Via Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune: "Ayo Dosunmu (right quad contusion) and Andre Drummond (left ankle sprain) are both listed as questionable for tonight’s play-in game against Atlanta.
Billy Donovan said yesterday it could likely be a game time decision for both."

Billy Donovan said yesterday it could likely be a game time decision for both.
Drummond is averaging 8.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 55.6% from the field in 79 games.
The Bulls finished the regular season as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference and had a 39-43 record.
They have gone 5-5 over their last ten games.
Whoever wins Wednesday's game will face off against either the Miami Heat or Philadelphia 76ers for a chance at the eighth seed.
Meanwhile, the loser will head home for the offseason.
It all comes down to this.
