Chicago Bulls coach provides update on Josh Giddey’s injury

The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors faced off on Sunday night, with both teams rumored to potentially trade away several of their veteran players before the February trade deadline. The Bulls were able to get the home win over the Raptors 122-121, but not everyone came out of this game positive.

During the third quarter, off-season newcomer Josh Giddey sustained an ankle injury during a shooting contest by Gradey Dick and went to the locker room, where he was out for the remainder of the contest. Only two assists and one rebound are missing from the triple-double. An update on the Australian international’s current situation has been released.

Chicago Tribune writer Julia Poe reports that the Bulls’ medical staff has not yet made a report to head coach Billy Donovan on the level or degree of ankle sprain Giddey suffered. However, it is important to note that the ankle Giddey injured on Monday night is the same ankle he tore a ligament in Team Australia’s 95-90 loss to Serbia at the 2024 Paris Olympics. It’s an important update from the team’s coaching staff as they decide how to handle it.

With no update on Giddey yet, his status for Thursday’s away contest in Boston remains uncertain. After being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder this offseason, Giddey entered tonight’s game averaging 11.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.9 assists while appearing in every contest for the Bulls.
