Giddey & White Out: Bulls Face Scoring Crisis
1 Jan
Summary
- Josh Giddey out at least two weeks with hamstring strain.
- Coby White also sidelined with calf tightness for a week.
- Both are the Bulls' top two scorers, averaging 19.2 PPG.
The Chicago Bulls will be without their leading scorers, Josh Giddey and Coby White, for at least the next several games. Giddey is expected to miss a minimum of two weeks due to a strained left hamstring, sustained during Monday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coby White is also sidelined with tightness in his right calf and will be reevaluated in one week.
This marks a critical juncture for the Bulls, who are currently 15-17 and vying for a play-in spot. Giddey, averaging 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 9.0 assists, has been an All-Star caliber player this season, recording seven triple-doubles. His absence, along with White's, leaves a substantial void in the team's offensive production.
The team's schedule is demanding, with nine games in the next 14 days. The Bulls' strategy emphasizes depth, and this period will test their resilience. With Giddey set to miss at least ten games and White out for a week, the team must rely on its supporting players to step up and maintain their position in the Eastern Conference standings.
