Josh Giddey is listed as questionable on the official injury report for the Chicago Bulls' game on Tuesday, January 20.
TheChicago Bulls will face theLos Angeles Clippers at home on Tuesday, January 20, and they may be getting their best player back from injury.
Josh Giddey has been upgraded to questionable with a left hamstring strain on theofficial injury report. The last time he played, on December 29, he had 11 points, four rebounds and three assists on 30% shooting from the field and 25% shooting from three in a 136-101 loss to theMinnesota Timberwolves.
Giddey was looking like he would earn his first All-Star selection before the calendar turned to 2026. This season, he is averaging a career-high 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and nine assists while shooting 46.6% from the field and 38.6% from three (also a career-high).
Is Josh Giddey Playing Tonight?
Giddey has missed the last 11 games with a left hamstring strainhe suffered in the loss to Minnesota. The point guard wasrecently assigned to the Windy City Bulls, the professional team’s G League affiliate, to help him ramp up before returning. Giddey’s current injury status is a positive sign for the Bulls, as he appears to be trending in the right direction in his recovery.
Chicago, however, won’t take any chances with Giddey if he is not feeling 100%. The team will likely evaluate him in pregame warmups and then make a final decision on his status. If Giddey is out again,Tre Jones,Ayo Dosunmu andKevin Huerter will see most of the minutes at guard.
Patrick Williams (right ankle sprain) is also questionable for tonight.Zach Collins (right toe sprain) is out again.
Chicago Bulls Trade Rumors
The Bulls are reportedly one of the more active teams as the trade deadline approaches and arelooking to deal multiple players this year. The team is hoping to build around Giddey, who it signed to a long-term deal last year.
Coby White is the biggest name on the trading block for Chicago. He will be afree agent at the end of this season, but plenty of teams are rumored to be interested in him for his ability to run the point. White has been linked to squads like the Timberwolves who could use a true point guard. Chicago isreportedly seeking at least one unprotected first-round pick for White.
Nikola Vucevic is another player on anexpiring contract whom the Bulls could move before the deadline. The center is having a solid season, averaging 17 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and could certainly help many contenders. TheAtlanta Hawks, who need help at the center position, are a potential landing spot for the two-time All-Star.
