Bulls' Dwyane Wade: Held out of shootaround

Wade (mouth) was not present at the Bulls' morning shootaround, but remains a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Wade had a tooth extracted recently and is likely dealing with some pain and swelling. His absence from shootaround doesn't bode well for his eventual availability, but he'll continue to receive treatment throughout the day with the hope that he can be cleared. He'll likely go through pregame warmups before giving a final word on his status, but if he's unable to take the court, Jimmy Butler would likely take on more of the offensive workload, while guys like Isaiah Canaan and Denzel Valentine could see additional minutes.
