Giddey had 27 points (10-17 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, 15 assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 142-130 loss to the Lakers.
The fifth-year guard came up a couple of boards short of his 11th triple-double of the season, and the 29th of his career, while the six made three-pointers were a season high. Giddey has dished at least 15 dimes in back-to-back games and has reached double digits in that category in four of his last five appearances, averaging a blistering 19.4 points, 12.2 assists, 11.2 rebounds, 4.0 threes and 1.2 steals since the calendar flipped to March.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
After missing Thursday's game against the Suns, Giddey remains day-to-day for the Bulls. If Chicago's primary playmaker is unable to suit up, the team will likely lean more on Tre Jones, Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Not playing Thursday
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Giddey rolled his ankle during the Bulls' loss to the Thunder on Thursday. The injury will prevent him from suiting up Thursday, and the fifth-year pro's next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Kings. Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton figure to be the top candidates to enter the Bulls' starting lineup in Giddey's absence.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Iffy to play Thursday
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Giddey finished Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two blocks over 33 minutes, but he limped away with a right ankle sprain in the process. The questionable tag suggests that the issue is minor, but the Bulls have typically been very cautious with their franchise player.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Triple-double in big win
Rotowire
Giddey supplied 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 win over Milwaukee.
The triple-double was Giddey's eighth of the season, a new career high, and his 15th in a Chicago jersey -- tying Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen for second on the franchise's all-time list. Giddey played more than 30 minutes for the first time since returning after the All-Star break from a hamstring strain, and his workload restriction appears to have been lifted. Before initially suffering the hamstring injury just after Christmas -- he returned for four games in late January but was then shut down again -- Giddey had been averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists, 8.9 boards, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over his first 30 contests this season.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: On minutes restriction Sunday
Rotowire
Giddey will be on a minutes restriction during Sunday's game against the Knicks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Giddey recently returned to action after missing eight games due to a hamstring injury, and head coach Billy Donovan stated pregame that Giddey will have a minutes restriction for Sunday's game, as it is the second half of a back-to-back set. With Tre Jones also on a minutes restriction, Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton could see slightly expanded roles off the bench.

Rotowire
Giddey (hamstring) will play Thursday against the Raptors.
Giddey is set for a return after missing Chicago's previous eight matchups while nursing a hamstring injury. He hasn't played in a game since Jan. 28, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team take it easy with his playing time in his first game back.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Expects to play Thursday
Rotowire
Giddey (hamstring) expects to play in Thursday's game against the Raptors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Giddey was a full participant in practice Wednesday, and he looks to be on the verge of ending an eight-game absence with a strained left hamstring. The star guard's return would likely translate into fewer minutes for Collin Sexton and Jaden Ivey at the point. That said, it wouldn't be shocking if the Bulls have a minutes restriction in mind initially for Giddey once he's able to take the floor.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Giddey (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Saturday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, and Giddey is a prime candidate for another maintenance day -- he just missed Thursday's game for maintenance-related reasons. If he misses any action, Kevin Huerter, Ayo Dosunmu and Isaac Okoro could see more action for Chicago.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Thursday's game against the Heat, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
After playing 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss in Indiana, Giddey is getting Thursday night off for hamstring injury maintenance. The Bulls have another back-to-back set coming up this weekend with the Heat, so more load management is likely on the horizon for Giddey. Isaac Okoro and Kevin Huerter should help hold down the fort Thursday.
