Is Collin Sexton Worth Keeping on the Chicago Bulls Past This Season? 🤔

Is Collin Sexton Worth Keeping on the Chicago Bulls Past This Season? 🤔

The Chicago Bulls are heading west… and the roster looks very different right now. On this episode of Chicago Bulls Breeze, host Philip Charles VanDerHeyden IV (@PhilipCharlesIV) — aka Philly The IV — breaks down everything Bulls fans need to know before Chicago takes on the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center on Sunday, March 8th, 2026.

The Bulls are dealing with a seriously depleted roster, but somehow they keep finding ways to compete — and in some cases, win. Philly dives into the latest injury report updates and what it means for Chicago’s rotation heading into Sacramento.

As of March 7th, Chicago is still without multiple key contributors including Anfernee Simons (wrist), Patrick Williams (quad), Jalen Smith (calf), Jaden Ivey (knee), Zach Collins (toe – season), and Noa Essengue (shoulder – season). Meanwhile, Sacramento isn’t exactly healthy either — with Domantas Sabonis (knee – season), De’Andre Hunter (eye – season), Keegan Murray (ankle), Dylan Cardwell (ankle), and Zach LaVine (hand – season) all sidelined.

That means this matchup could turn into a battle of depth, young players, and opportunity.

And one player who has absolutely seized that opportunity is Collin Sexton.

Sexton is coming off a 30-point explosion against the Phoenix Suns, leading a short-handed Bulls squad to a 105-103 win while carrying the offensive load throughout the night.

Philly breaks down:

• Whether Sexton’s scoring surge is sustainable
• If he could become a long-term piece of the Bulls’ backcourt
• And what his aggressive downhill style means for Chicago’s offense going forward

At the same time, another young Bull is beginning to turn heads.

Leonard Miller has started to emerge as a legitimate contributor. Recently he posted career highs across multiple categories, including a 15-point performance during Chicago’s breakout win over Milwaukee, showing the kind of length, energy, and versatility that Bulls fans have been waiting to see.

Philly looks at whether Miller’s rise is just a temporary opportunity due to injuries, or the beginning of a real role in Chicago’s future rotation.

And of course, we preview the actual matchup:

How can the Bulls beat Sacramento on the road?

Philly breaks down the keys:

🏀 Attack the paint and pressure Sacramento’s thin frontcourt
🏀 Let Sexton continue pushing tempo and collapsing defenses
🏀 Lean on young length and energy from players like Leonard Miller
🏀 Win the hustle categories — rebounds, loose balls, and transition points

With both teams missing major pieces, this game could turn into a chaos game — and sometimes that’s exactly where young Bulls squads thrive.

Can Chicago steal one on the road?

Can Collin Sexton keep cooking?

And is Leonard Miller becoming one of the most intriguing development stories on this roster?

Philly The IV breaks it all down on Chicago Bulls Breeze.

Bulls fans… buckle up.
