Bulls Get Giddey Back, Face Celtics Tonight
25 Jan
Summary
- Josh Giddey returns for the Bulls after a hamstring injury.
- Tre Jones is out with a hamstring strain, expected to miss at least eight games.
- Both the Bulls and Celtics have players managing injuries for tonight's game.
The Chicago Bulls are set to host the Boston Celtics tonight, with a boost to their roster as Josh Giddey returns to the court. Giddey, who had been sidelined with a hamstring strain, played limited minutes in a recent victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is expected to continue coming off the bench with a minutes restriction of 24-26 minutes.
Despite Giddey's return, the Bulls received concerning news regarding playmaker Tre Jones. Jones has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain and will miss at least eight games, with his return requiring re-evaluation in two weeks. This absence necessitates making two-way big man Lachlan Olbrich available to add size to the team.
Patrick Williams is available for the Bulls, while the Celtics expect to have Jaylen Brown (hamstring tightness) and Neemias Queta (illness) available despite recent ailments. Both teams are dealing with injuries as they face off, with Zach Collins and Jayson Tatum also out for their respective teams.
