Bulls Clear Josh Giddey to Ramp Up From Hamstring Strain as Zach Collins Faces Longer Layoff
Reassessment is planned in about a week after Chicago cleared the guard to ramp up activity.
Overview
- Head coach Billy Donovan said Josh Giddey has progressed "really, really well" and has started sprinting and cutting during his ramp-up.
- Giddey remains out for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz, with the team planning to check his status again in roughly a week.
- This is Giddey’s best NBA season, averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists and 8.9 rebounds with seven triple-doubles.
- The Bulls are 18-21 and are 15-15 with Giddey compared with 3-6 without him.
- Zach Collins will stay in a walking boot for several weeks, with another evaluation in two weeks and expectations he will not return before the All-Star break.
