Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Giddey is slated to miss his first matchup of the season while he deals with a right ankle injury. With the 22-year-old sidelined, Talen Horton-Tucker could see an uptick in playing time. Giddey's next chance to play will come Saturday against Boston, though there is currently no timetable for his return, as he has yet to return to running.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Questionable to face Boston
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Giddey left Monday's game against the Raptors with a right ankle injury and was unable to practice Wednesday. While the questionable tag means there's an outside chance he will be available, that seems like an unlikely scenario for the floor general. Talen Horton-Tucker and Lonzo Ball should see more minutes if Giddey is unable to go Thursday.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Shut down with ankle injury
Rotowire
Giddey won't return to Monday's game against the Raptors after suffering a right ankle injury, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. He registered 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in 24 minutes before exiting.
The team has yet to comment on the severity of Giddey's injury, though more information should come to light over the next day or so after imaging has taken place. Giddey's absence will free up more minutes for Lonzo Ball, Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker the rest of the way Monday.

Rotowire
Giddey (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

However, all signs point to him being able to play Friday. Giddey has yet to miss a game this season. He's averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game over his last 10 contests.

Giddey posted his fourth outing of the season with 10 or more dimes, and he's accompanied those performances with at least nine points and five boards in all four instances.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Probable Friday
Rotowire
Giddey (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Giddey was a late addition to the injury report due to right foot soreness, though he is likely to suit up Friday. If the 22-year-old is sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker should pick up the slack, especially with Coby White (ankle) and Lonzo Ball (knee) questionable for the contest.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Giddey is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Spurs due to a sprained right ankle.
Giddey is coming off his first triple-double of the season, posting 20 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one block in a 128-102 win over the Nets. Coby White (ankle) and Lonzo Ball (knee) have already been ruled out, so the Bulls could be especially shorthanded in the backcourt if Giddey is also shelved. That could lead to extra minutes for a variety of players, including rookie Matas Buzelis and Talen Horton-Tucker.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: First triple-double with Chicago
Rotowire
Giddey recorded 20 points (9-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 128-102 win over the Nets.
Giddey struggled with his shot from range, but that's about the only area in which he floundered Monday evening. He secured his first triple-double since joining the Bulls and posted his best scoring performance since Oct. 30, when he put up 20 points versus Orlando. Monday's showing was a positive sign for the 22-year-old, who was held to a season-low four points in his previous appearance Friday against Boston.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Inefficient performance in loss
Rotowire
Giddey posted five points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes in Wednesday's 122-106 loss to Milwaukee.
Giddey has been inefficient offensively to start the season, shooting just 40.6 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three, but he is averaging 11.8 points, 6.4 assists, 6.2 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 0.2 blocks across 27.2 minutes. If his shot isn't falling, Giddey will look to get his other teammates involved, and his next opportunity to bounce back will be Friday against Atlanta.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Notches third double-double
Rotowire
Giddey finished Monday's 122-112 win over Detroit with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and 10 assists over 29 minutes.
Giddey was somewhat efficient on the offensive end and scored in double figures for the first time in a week. He also put together his best passing performance since Nov. 7, good enough for his third double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. There should be plenty of opportunities to rack up assists for Giddey moving forward, at least while Nikola Vucevic, Zach LaVine and Coby White all continue to play at a high level.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Stuffs stat sheet Monday
Rotowire

Giddey is enjoying a strong start to the season with Chicago and is averaging 12.7 points, 8.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Rotowire
Giddey ended with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 win over Atlanta.
Giddey had a strong performance on both ends of the court, and as has been the trend with him since moving to Chicago, he's stuffing the stat sheet admirably. Giddey has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances in 2024-25 while also posting solid numbers as a playmaker, rebounder and on-ball defender. Giddey will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he can keep racking up stats left and right, even though he shares the court with two high-usage players, Zach LaVine and Coby White, on a regular basis. Giddey's ability to stuff the stat sheet is critical for his upside.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Hands out season-high 13 dimes
Rotowire
Giddey had nine points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and 13 assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Timberwolves.
Giddey failed to reach double digits in the scoring column for the first time this season, but he replaced the lack of firepower on offense with an excellent showing as a playmaker. Giddey is showing the outstanding stat-filling ability he had previously shown during his OKC tenure. He's recorded three double-doubles so far and has proven to be able to make a huge impact in several categories. He's re-establishing his value as a reliable fantasy contributor, particularly in category-based leagues.
