Josh Giddey Suiting Up Monday
Josh Giddey (illness) will suit up against the Utah Jazz after being listed on the team's injury list early Monday afternoon with a non-COVID illness. In the last three Bulls games, the 22-year-old play has been impressive, averaging 14.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.3 steals. If Giddey's minutes are limited, Coby White will likely get more on-ball duties, while Ayo Dosunmu will also see more action.

Josh Giddey Expected To Play On Wednesday Night
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
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.

Josh Giddey Won't Play Against Cleveland
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.
