Chicago Bulls center Nic Claxton is set to make his debut with the team on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia 76ers after recovering from a left hamstring injury.
Claxton joined Chicago from the Brooklyn Nets in a multi-team trade during the offseason but has yet to appear in a regular-season game for his new team.
The veteran center suffered a left hamstring strain during the preseason, which kept him sidelined for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
Although Claxton has been cleared to return, the Bulls will limit his playing time as he works his way back into game shape.
He is expected to come off the bench against Philadelphia rather than enter Chicago’s starting lineup immediately.
