Overview
- Both guards completed full-contact practice on Friday and were set to be monitored for how they responded.
- Billy Donovan said he “fully expects” each to see game action during the upcoming five-game, seven-day run that opens Sunday at Utah.
- Coby White, out all season with a right calf strain, is expected to operate on about a 24-minute restriction and may be held out of select games.
- Josh Giddey sprained his right ankle on Nov. 8 vs. Cleveland, has missed the last two contests, and has been a key playmaker with near triple‑double averages.
- The Bulls are 6–5 after four straight losses, heightening the need for backcourt help on the road swing to Utah, Denver and Portland.
