Bulls Injuries Set New Timetables for Giddey, White and Collins
Re-evaluations over the next two weeks leave Chicago balancing short-term fixes against potential deadline moves.
Overview
- Josh Giddey has a left hamstring strain and is out for multiple weeks, staying active from the bench as Chicago beat Orlando to move to 2-0 without its starting backcourt.
- Coby White exited the Dec. 29 loss to Minnesota with recurring calf tightness, an MRI showed no re-strain, and he is slated for a re-evaluation Monday.
- Zach Collins, who missed the first 21 games with a fractured wrist, is currently out with a toe issue with a check-in expected in roughly 10 days.
- Tre Jones has stepped in at point guard and produced 20 points and 12 assists versus New Orleans, and his contract could provide insurance if the Bulls move on from White.
- With Noa Essengue out for the season and the team 16-17, reporting indicates Chicago is considering selling before the Feb. 5 deadline as younger players take on larger roles.
