Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey and Tre Jones are likely to return Thursday against Toronto after missing significant time with hamstring injuries. Giddey has been out eight games while Jones hasn’t played since January 22nd.
Two key Chicago Bulls guards appear ready to make their comeback Thursday when Toronto visits, as both Josh Giddey and Tre Jones have been marked as probable for the matchup.
The duo has been recovering from hamstring injuries that kept them off the court for extended periods.
Giddey’s absence has stretched across eight consecutive games following a setback he suffered during Chicago’s matchup with Indiana on January 28th. The injury originally occurred December 29th in a contest against Minnesota, which had already forced him to sit out 11 straight games.
The 23-year-old guard is enjoying his strongest statistical season, posting personal bests with 18.6 points per game alongside 8.8 assists and 8.6 rebounds through 34 appearances, including 31 as a starter.
Throughout his professional career spanning 314 games with Oklahoma City and Chicago, Giddey has contributed 14.6 points, 7.6 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per contest. The Thunder selected him sixth overall in the 2021 draft before he joined the Bulls.
Jones, 26, last took the court January 22nd and has been productive this season with 12.4 points and 5.8 assists per game across 38 contests. His 1.3 steals per game leads the team, and he has started 20 games this year.
