Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) took another step forward in his recovery, participating in contact drills during Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Giddey, who has been rehabbing a ruptured ligament in his ankle sustained during the Paris Olympics, had missed contact drills for two months. After being limited to a non-contact session the previous day, this marks a positive sign as the Bulls prepare for their preseason game in Cleveland just six days away. The ...

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey is limited at the start of training camp due to an ankle injury. Giddey ruptured an ankle ligament while playing for Australia at the Paris Olympics. However, the 21-year-old has said he'll be "fine" for the start of the regular season, suggesting that if it were playoffs, he would be ready to play right now. It sounds like Giddey is in the final stages of recovery, and fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about his status. The versatile Australian looks set...

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey is expected to be the team's primary ball-handler after arriving from Oklahoma City. The 21-year-old Australian is set to share the backcourt with Coby White, but a source has told Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times that it has always been a plan to employ Giddey as the starting point guard when bringing him in. "They view him as Lonzo Ball-light a point guard with positional height to not only rebound, but attack the opposing defense with his ability to get ...

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey had a quality showing in Australia's win over Spain on Saturday. Giddey had five turnovers in this one. However, he made up for it by just missing out on a triple-double, amassing 17 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. The 21-year-old had a down season in 2023-24, averaging a career-low 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. He also logged only 25.2 minutes per contest.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey is eager to get started with his new team and believes he can take his game to another level in the Windy City. "It was going to be hard to tap into my full potential, in my opinion, on a team like [Oklahoma City] with so many talented guys who needed the ball in their hands, who were great with the ball in their hands," Giddey said. "A change of scenery was going to maybe unlock more of that for me." Giddey's fantasy stock plummeted in 2023-24, but the ...

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Bulls acquired guard Josh Giddey from OKC. In exchange, the Thunder received guard Alex Caruso. Chicago was expected to be active this offseason to bolster the roster. With Lonzo Ball (knee) still without a return timetable, the move was made to acquire a playmaker. Giddey just completed his third year of service in the National Basketball Association. However, he averaged career-lows in points (12.3), rebounds (6.4), and assists (4.8) while logging ...

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey ended up playing a very limited role in the second-round series against Dallas, but he's not seeking a change of scenery. "I love it here. This is a home away from home. I love everything about this place, the city, the fans," Giddey said. "The organization top to bottom is just unbelievable people throughout the building, and getting to come here to work every day is a lot of fun. It doesn't feel like work." Giddey also had a down year during the...

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey led the second unit with 11 points in Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Mavericks. Giddey has struggled in the series, and Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault dropped him on the bench for Game 5 in favor of Isaiah Joe. The move worked out well for Giddey, as he enjoyed his best outing of the series, adding three rebounds and two assists to his tally with 5-for-8 shooting across 12 minutes. However, with the team losing and now 3-2 behind in the ...

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (hip) won't play on Friday versus the Bucks. The 21-year-old nearly had a triple-double in Wednesday's blowout over the San Antonio Spurs. But he'll sit this one out because of a bruised hip, meaning his next chance to suit up will be in Sunday's regular-season finale. With that said, Giddey's absence will open up minutes for Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace. However, both men are still hard to trust from a DFS standpoint.
