Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Giddey's right ankle sprain will keep him "out for a little bit," K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donovan said Giddey is doing much better than first anticipated, and the guard was walking around fine when he met with the media Wednesday. Giddey will not play Thursday against the Nets, but he will travel with the Bulls on their six-game road trip, which begins Saturday in Houston. He'll do some on-court work soon, at which point a timeline is likely to be established. Although Donovan has ruled Giddey out, the Bulls listed him as doubtful on their afternoon injury report.
