Overview
- Both guards completed full-contact practice, and coach Billy Donovan said he fully expects them to play this week.
- Josh Giddey is probable against Utah after a right ankle sprain on Nov. 8 and has averaged 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 9.3 assists in nine games.
- Coby White, out since August with a right calf strain, is questionable for a season debut and is expected to be limited to about 24 minutes when he returns.
- The Bulls will stagger appearances and monitor post-contact responses rather than restoring full workloads immediately.
- Chicago has dropped four straight; big man Zach Collins remains out following left wrist surgery but has had his splint removed as he progresses.
