Josh Giddey Expected to Return Against Bucks

Josh Giddey is set to return for the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing four games due to an ankle sprain. Initially, Giddey's injury appeared severe, but he has recovered quicker than expected and will resume his regular backcourt duties. Before his injury, Giddey was performing well, averaging 12.1 points, 7.7 assists, and 6.7 rebounds over his previous 12 games, and he had shown improved defensive effort. The Bulls are also welcoming back Matas Buzelis and Lonzo Ball, who have missed time recently due to various issues. Giddey's return is crucial for the Bulls as they aim to evaluate his future with the team amid his upcoming restricted free agency. His performance against the Bucks will be closely monitored as the Bulls look to improve their standings.
