Josh Giddey Out With Ankle Injury

Josh Giddey has been ruled out for the Chicago Bulls' upcoming game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a right ankle sprain, marking his third consecutive absence. Initially listed as questionable, his situation does not show much promise for recovery ahead of the game against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Additionally, Lonzo Ball has also been ruled out with an illness, leaving the Bulls significantly shorthanded in the backcourt. Ayo Dosunmu is expected to receive increased playing time in Giddey's absence, along with Talen Horton-Tucker. The Bulls are facing challenges as they prepare to compete without key players against a strong opponent like Trae Young and the Hawks. Giddey's return remains uncertain, but he hopes to be back on the court soon.
