The potential of losing all three point guards for two knockout games places the Chicago Bulls at a steep disadvantage as they attempt to return to the playoffs.

Giddey missed the Bulls' previous game against the Washington Wizards, which ended up being a 119-89 win. In the game before that, against the Miami Heat, he stepped up big time, putting up an incredible 28 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and three blocks.

Guard Josh Giddey, who helped propel the Chicago Bulls to a spot in the NBA play-in tournament, did not travel to Philadelphia for the final game of the regular season, instead staying home to get treatment on his ailing right wrist.
