Giddey scored 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old guard has been on the mend in training camp from an ankle injury he picked up in the Olympics, but Giddey seemed fully recovered Tuesday, and only Coby White played more minutes among Chicago's starting five in the team's preseason opener. Giddey saw his court time and production decline with the Thunder last season, but a fresh start with the Bulls could re-ignite the talent that allowed him to average 16.6 points, 7.9 boards and 6.2 assists over 76 regular-season games in 2022-23.
