Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey led his team with 25 points and notched 10 rebounds, four assists, and one block in Wednesday's 109-90 loss in the Play-In Tournament against the Miami Heat. Despite dealing with a torn muscle in his shooting hand, Giddey logged 40 minutes of action, shooting 9-for-21 from the field. He finished 2-for-7 with the three-ball. The season ended on a sour note for Giddey, but he played extremely well over the final stretch, averaging nearly a triple-double since the All-Star break. Things have worked out perfectly for Giddey in Chicago, and from a fantasy perspective, it would definitely be beneficial if he extends his deal with the Bulls. The 22-year-old will be a restricted free agent this offseason.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (forearm) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. Giddey is dealing with pain in his right arm and hand, but will play through the issue on Wednesday night as the Bulls attempt to extend their season. It has been a spectacular finish to the season for Giddey, who has averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.5 steals since the All-Star break. The Bulls will need another monster effort from him on Wednesday to compete with a tough Miami team.
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (forearm) is probable heading into Wednesday's Play-In matchup against the visiting Heat. He missed the final two games of the regular season. But head coach Billy Donovan remains optimistic Giddey will be out there versus Miami. If that's the case, Julian Phillips, coming off a nine-point, seven-assist, two-steal performance, will presumably head back to the bench.
Bulls Are "Optimistic" That Josh Giddey Will Play Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (wrist) was unable to play in the team's final two games of the regular season, and now there's some doubt surrounding his status for their play-in game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. One bit of good news came from head coach Billy Donovan when he said that there is a "high-level optimism" surrounding his ability to play. In his first season with the Bulls, Giddey posted career-highs in multiple categories and averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 threes per game with shooting splits of .465/.378/.781. If he's unable to play, they're likely to lean a bit more on Kevin Huerter and Talen Horton-Tucker at times.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will be out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back set due to right forearm tendinopathy. The 22-year-old is likely being held out for injury management and rest after an impressive outing, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in a 131-117 win over the Hornets on Sunday. Talen Horton-Tucker is likely in line for a heavier workload while Giddey is out against the Cavs.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) will play on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Giddey recently sustained a hip injury but has remained in the lineup and is good to go Tuesday night as Chicago completes a back-to-back. On Monday, Giddey returned to Oklahoma City and fell just a couple of rebounds short of a triple-double. He was fantastic throughout March, averaging 20.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. Toronto's mediocre defense likely won't be good enough to slow Giddey down.
According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) said he will play against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Monday. Giddey participated in the Bulls' morning shootaround after he was listed as questionable for right-hip soreness and injury management. In his last outing, the 22-year-old finished with eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks across 27 minutes in a 120-119 loss to the Mavs on Saturday. He should be a solid fantasy option for this evening as he goes up against his former club.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (wrist) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to a wrist injury. Giddey and the Bulls only recently defeated the Lakers, with the talented Australian delivering a special stat line. He capped off a 146-115 victory on Saturday with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and eight steals. A repeat of that performance appears unlikely, but Giddey has been back to his best in recent weeks.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (wrist) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey recorded a triple-double against the Lakers in a road win last week, but he might not have the opportunity to repeat the feat due to a wrist injury. The Bulls backcourt has already lost Tre Jones (foot), although Lonzo Ball (wrist) could make his return to the lineup on Thursday. If he indeed replaces Giddey in the lineup, Ball will share playmaking duties with Coby White (toe), who is listed as probable for the game.
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey will be back in action following a one-game absence due to an ankle issue. When healthy, Giddey has been on a roll over the last month or so. Most nights, Giddey is putting up nearly a triple-double. That being said, Giddey should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats ahead of Saturday's slate.
