The memo on us is out: crash the boards, get back in transition; that’s how you stop the Bulls. So we have to figure out ways to counteract that and be effective. We’ve shown we can do it and we’re capable. So it’s a matter of doing it night in and night out whether guys are injured or not. We’ve just got to find ways to put stops and possessions together like we did early.”</p><p>Additionally, Giddey provided insight into what needs to be done as the Chicago Bulls face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.</p><p>“I’m all for optimism and positivity, but at some point we have to look in the mirror and say how can we be better as a team and what do we need to do to impact winning,” Giddey added. “These four days, I think one win will put us in the right direction. Attack it, have good practices and get ready for Charlotte.”</p><p>Altogether, Giddey finished the game with 18 points, five assists, and three rebounds. Plus, he had a -21 rating.</p><h2><b>How much worse could it possibly get for the Bulls?</b></h2><p>After an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/overreaction-trade-bulls-must-target-shocking-start">unexpected strong start</a>, Chicago has been on a steep downward decline, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-chicago-injury-report-magic">frequent injuries</a> and a lack of development among the factors.</p><p>As a result, the Bulls are poised to embark on another losing season and miss the playoffs. They are already on the verge of missing the play-in tournament.</p><p>At this point, Chicago should emphasize a one-game-at-a-time approach.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While there will be<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/nba-rumors-bulls-decline-giannis-antetokounmpo-interest-trade"> rumors around the Bulls throughout the season</a> surrounding their potential pursuit to make the team better, Josh Giddey would express his confidence in the team bouncing back in a huge way.</p><p>Chicago began the season strong with a 5-0 start, but the team has since been 4-12, despite Giddey having a productive start to the year, averaging 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 9.2 assists per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field. Also shooting 39.1 percent from deep, Giddey would see the light at the end of the tunnel for <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1997047855039893928" rel="noopener">how the team has stuck together</a> through tough times, according to K.C. Johnson.</p><p>“I feel even more so than when we were winning,” Giddey said. “This is where it’s easy for guys to splinter. But credit to our group and coaches who have kept us together. The last 2 weeks haven’t been what we’ve wanted. But we’re all still confident.”</p><p>Another player on the Bulls who echoed the same sentiment was the veteran presence on the team in center Nikola Vučević, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6861288/2025/12/04/bulls-losing-streak-nets-nba/" rel="noopener">saying that many are bought in</a>, via The Athletic.</p><p>“Guys believe in what the coaching staff wants us to do out there and the system they want us to play,” Vučević said when questioned about the team’s buy-in with the slow start. “When we’ve done it well, we might not always have won the game, but we played better. For whatever reason, we just haven’t been at our best lately.”</p><p>At any rate, Chicago looks to snap its five-game losing streak with Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Joining Giddey and White on the injury report is point guard Tre Jones, who is questionable with a left ankle impingement.</p><p>Meanwhile, Kyle Anderson is questionable for the Jazz with right lower back injury management, while Walker Kessler and Georges Niang will remain out.</p><p>Overall, the Bulls would certainly like to get back into the win column against a seemingly weak opponent on Sunday, and having Giddey and White on the floor will certainly help increase their chances of doing so.</p><p>The Bulls and Jazz are set to tip off on Sunday at 8:00 PM ET from Salt Lake City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Saturday, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan says that both Coby White and Josh Giddey <a href="https://x.com/kcjhoop/status/1989759918329545025?s=46&amp;t=T_IBUDDEVxY-F9B1U7XHFw" rel="noopener">are inching closer</a> to rejoining the mix, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. </p><p>According to Donovan, both had taken part in full-contact practice and came out well. Specifically, Donovan said that he “fully expects those guys to play this week.” White <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-coby-white-will-miss-start-of-season-with-calf-injury" rel="noopener">has been out since the preseason</a> with a calf injury.

From there, they will play four games over the next five days. The Bulls will then head to Denver to take on the Nuggets on Monday. After that, they play the Trail Blazers in Portland on Wednesday. Finally, they will close out the weekend with back-to-back home games, first against the Miami Heat on Friday and then the Washington Wizards on Saturday. </p><h2><b>The return of Chicago’s young, dynamic duo could lift spirits</b>.</h2><p>Since last year, White and Giddey have played well together. Both are dynamic offensive threats and defensive works in progress. They like to push the tempo and score in bunches. </p><p>So far, Giddey has elevated his game. Currently, he is averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists. Last year, White had his best season in Chicago thus far. He averaged 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. </p><p>Given the way the offense is orchestrated, both are expected to fall back into place nicely.

Guards Josh Giddey and Coby White both participated in full practice sessions ahead of the team’s road matchup, a promising development as Chicago looks to halt its four-game losing streak.</p><p>K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reported the update Friday, noting that head coach Billy Donovan confirmed both Giddey and White practiced fully and would be monitored based on how they respond to the contact session. The Bulls (6–5) are currently on a four-game road trip and will take on the Jazz (4–8) at 8:00 p.m. ET in Salt Lake City.</p><p>Coby White has yet to make his season debut after suffering a right calf strain during an offseason workout in August. The 25-year-old guard has been gradually ramping up activity since the preseason and now appears closer to returning. White is coming off a career year in 2024–25, averaging 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 45.3% from the field and 37% from beyond the arc. He played 74 games last season, logging 33.1 minutes per contest.</p><p>His absence has been felt in the Bulls’ backcourt rotation, particularly during the recent skid that followed their strong 6–1 start to the season. White’s return would provide a scoring boost and another playmaking option alongside Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu.</p><h2><b>Bulls provide positive injury updates on Josh Giddey, Coby White ahead of Jazz matchup</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Coby-White-0-reacts-with-Chicago-Bulls-guard-Josh-Giddey-3-against-Los-Angeles-Lakers.jpg"><figcaption>© Jonathan Hui-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Josh Giddey, meanwhile, injured his ankle during the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-news-cade-cunningham-josh-giddey-injury">Bulls’ 128–122 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers</a> last Saturday. The injury occurred after Giddey fell awkwardly while defending a crossover move by De’Andre Hunter. Despite the setback, Giddey managed to contribute 15 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block while shooting 5-for-15 from the field and converting all five of his free throw attempts across 33 minutes.</p><p>Through nine appearances this season, Giddey is averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and one steal per game. He’s shooting 46.3% from the field and 38.5% from three while playing 34.1 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old has been instrumental in the Bulls’ early-season success, helping lead the team to its best start since the 1996–97 championship era under Michael Jordan.</p><p>Chicago’s recent downturn has been marked by a decline in offensive rhythm and defensive consistency, areas that both White and Giddey have the potential to impact upon their full return to action. Their updated status suggests both could be available in the near future, potentially as early as Sunday’s matchup in Utah.</p><p>Following the game against the Jazz, the Bulls will continue their road stretch with matchups against the Denver Nuggets (9-2) and Portland Trail Blazers (6-5) before returning home to face the Miami Heat (7-5) on November 21.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It makes a big difference for some teams. While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-chicago-feared-opponent-josh-giddey">Giddey addressed what strikes fear in the Bulls’ opponents</a>, he also talked about how important the bond between players off the court is.</p><p>For Giddey, it’s another reason why Oklahoma City has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cw3o9Nu9xk&amp;t=570s" rel="noopener">such strong chemistry as a team</a>, as the former Thunder guard alluded to its city helping in that regard, per The Young Man &amp; The Three podcast.</p><p>“I think that’s one of the massive things about why they’re so good is because how close they are off the court. And I think one of the blessings is there’s nothing to do in Oklahoma,” Giddey said. “So the guys are like, we have to hang out with each other, and that’s what we did a lot. Obviously, they’re close and we spent a lot of time together, whether it was a locker room, planes, hotels, or whatever it is.”</p><p>Josh Giddey, who was traded to the Bulls for Alex Caruso before the 2024-25 season, says he’s feeling the same kind of closeness among his new teammates in his second season in Chicago.</p><p>“I’m starting to see it now more so than ever. We do dinners all the time. We hang out together. We do things on the plane, hotel, wherever we are on the road,” Giddey added. “Like guys actually enjoy each other’s company. When you love the people you get to go to work with everyday, that’ makes a massive difference in how you play on the court.”</p><p>Averaging 21.4 points on 46.3% shooting, including 38.5% from deep, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals, Giddey is having the best start of his career for the Bulls.</p><h2><b>Mark Daigneault urges Thunder to keep the right ‘mindset’</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Thunder-coach-Mark-Daigneault.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite the Thunder’s 12-1 start as defending champions, coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/thunder-news-mark-daigneault-urges-keep-right-mindset-12-1-start">Mark Daigneault is urging his players to improve</a>. Amid the first month of regular season, Daigneault knows it’s too soon to stop getting better, as teams around the NBA continue to adapt, and find their mid-season stride.</p><p>“We’re a better team today than we were 13 games ago. The thing is we have the maturity to understand there’s 70 more games,” Daigneault said. “And the rest of the league is gonna continue to evolve and improve, and we have to do that to pace with the rest of the league.

However, this season has so far seen a significant shift in dynamic.</p><p>In addition to Giddey, other players such as Matas Buzelis and Ayo Dosunmu like to run with the ball. That is especially the case with Buzelis, who feeds off Giddey well, leading to Giddey-to-Buzelis alley-oops.</p><p>Plus, the Bulls are getting more accustomed to shooting the three-pointer more often. Currently, they are shooting 39.7% from beyond the arc. Also, they are averaging 14.0 three-pointers per game.</p><p>Additionally, the Bulls are seeking to improve from averaging the shortest time of possession with the ball at 13.2 seconds.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Conversely, Cunningham is averaging 27.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.</p><p>Among the other Bulls players on the NBA injury report are Coby White and Zach Collins.

Meanwhile, Isiah Stewart was listed as doubtful due to a sprained left ankle. Also, Jalen Duren is listed as probable while battling a right ankle sprain.</p><h2><b>The Bulls/Pistons rivalry is one of the fiercest in the NBA</b></h2><p>Since the late 1980s, the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons have duked it out. There is a tremendous amount of pride at stake for either side. In many ways, it is the equivalent of the Michigan/Ohio State rivalry in football, where there is no love lost.</p><p>Obviously, what catapulted that bitterness was Michael Jordan taking on the Bad Boys during the playoffs.</p><p>Those tensions between both sides still linger to this day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Josh Giddey, who i<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-deandre-hunter-breaks-josh-giddey-ankles-drive-to-basket" rel="noopener">njured his ankle</a> against the Cleveland Cavaliers, will <a href="https://x.com/Will_Gottlieb/status/1988022931373674660" rel="noopener">be listed as out</a> for the game against the San Antonio Spurs, per Will Gottlieb of CHGO Bulls. </p><p>On Saturday, Giddey hurt his ankle as a result of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-deandre-hunter-donovan-mitchell-react-all-time-crossover-josh-giddey" rel="noopener">massive crossover by De’Andre Hunter</a> that became the flashpoint of a 128-122 loss. Nevertheless, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan <a href="https://x.com/DravesZachary/status/1988028730434854929" rel="noopener">remains optimistic</a> about Giddey’s recovery, as Chicago travels to Detroit to face the Pistons on Wednesday. </p><p>“With what we’ve got coming today and then Detroit, and then there are a few days, I just think he didn’t feel great today, and we’ll see how he feels when we get to Detroit. I don’t think it will be any longer than that after the Detroit game. That is my guess. We don’t feel like it is too severe. Didn’t have much swelling after the game, went some yesterday, and was just uncomfortable today during shoot around.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Coach Billy Donovan doesn’t foresee Josh Giddeys absence to go longer than the Detroit game on Wednesday.</p><p>“I don’t think after the Detroit game it will be any longer than that.

Overall, he is averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists. Additionally, this is Giddey’s first season to prove he is worthy of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-bonkers-100-million-contract-free-agency" rel="noopener">four-year $100 million deal</a> he signed.</p><h2><b>With Josh Giddey out, expect Matas Buzelis to step up</b>.</h2><p>Much of the reason the Bulls are 6-3 has been Giddey’s play. At the same time, second-year guard Matas Buzelis has been able to complement Giddey’s game. Both of whom have found a way to gel together, mainly when the offensive scheme permits running with the ball and spacing the floor. </p><p>As a result, it creates opportunities for each of them to score. Also, Giddey could dish to Buzelis for the slam in transition. With that said, Buzelis will be starting against the Spurs on Monday. However, he will likely be the guy to engineer the offense and rightfully so. </p><p>He is quick, fluid, and dynamic. Plus, Buzelis can shoot the ball from all spots on the floor and can go to the hole. If he can prove that he can defend, then he can start to emerge as a complete player.</p><p>Monday will be Buzelis’s chance to really prove that he can succeed on his own. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Specifically, De’Andre Hunter’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-deandre-hunter-breaks-josh-giddey-ankles-drive-to-basket">crossover move was vicious</a>, so much so that Giddey literally injured his right ankle.</p><p>On Monday, the Bulls <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-11-10_09AM.pdf" rel="noopener">officially listed</a> Giddey as questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs, per the NBA Injury Report. Additionally, Patrick Williams was listed as probable after dealing with an injury on his left finger.</p><p>Meanwhile, Coby White <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-coby-white-will-miss-start-of-season-with-calf-injury">remains out with a calf injury</a> but is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-coby-white-chicago-flow-return">expected to return soon</a>. Zach Collins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/zach-collins-receives-updated-timeline-after-undergoing-surgery">remains out with a left scaphoid fracture</a>.</p><p>The Bulls are coming off losing back-to-back games. On Friday, they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-how-overcame-impatient-offense-nba-cup-win-over-bulls">lost to the Milwaukee Bucks</a> 126-110. The next day, they blew a twenty point lead at the half to lose to the Cavaliars 128-122. As a result, the Bulls are now standing at 6-3.</p><p>Meanwhile, Giddey <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-drops-mic-goat-take-historic-24-point-comeback">is off to a hot start</a>. He is currently averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game. His name is already being mentioned, albeit prematurely, as a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-mvp-consideration">possible NBA MVP candidate</a>.</p><p>Overall, he is playing with something to prove after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-bonkers-100-million-contract-free-agency">signing a four-year $100 million contract</a> during the offseason. Along the way, Giddey <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-gets-real-after-32-point-game-win-over-knicks">scored a career high of 32 points</a> against the New York Knicks. Plus, he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-pulls-off-eye-popping-feat-last-done-by-1988-89-michael-jordan">became the first Bull since Michael Jordan</a> to notch a triple-double in two consecutive games.</p><h2><b>The Bulls need Josh Giddey to steer the ship.</b></h2><p>The Bulls wouldn’t be off to a remarkable start without Josh Giddey’s improved play. He has so far demonstrated his capacity to facilitate the offense, shoot from three-point range, and be an overall playmaker and leader.</p><p>Essentially, he is building off his success from the second half of last season. After the All-Star break, Giddey kicked up his playing high gear. In April, he averaged 20.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 10.8 assists. Plus, he shot 40.0% from the three-point line.</p><p>That momentum has carried over thus far into the first few games of the year. All in all, the Bulls have pieces in place for growth and potential, but Giddey needs to remain the top dog.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
