Giddey has been a fixture on the injury report these days, but much of it has been very recent.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 29, Giddey injured his hamstring during the Bulls&#8217; game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was taken out after playing 18 minutes and scored 11 points. Ultimately, the Bulls lost 136-101. Since then, Giddey has missed the last ten games.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chicago has gone 5-5 during this ten-game stretch. Their most recent win came on Sunday at home against the Brooklyn Nets, 124-102. Giddey has played in 30 games and is averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists, and 8.9 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n<p>Williams has played in 39 games and is averaging 6.5 points and 3.0 rebounds. He has had some consistent performances coming off the bench. Williams scored 15 points, shot 6-for-9 from the field, and was 3-for-5 from the three-point line in a 121-114 win over the Orlando Magic on Jan. 2.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 14, Williams scored 13 points, was 4-for-6 from the field, and 3-for-3 from three in a 128-126 win over the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Giddey was listed as questionable, <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/chicago-bulls\/bulls-news-josh-giddey-injury-status-clippers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a positive sign<\/a> for the Bulls.<\/p>\n<p>So when it comes to the question of if Josh Giddey is playing tonight vs. the Clippers, the answer is probably.<\/p>\n<p>Bulls injury report<\/p>\n<p>Josh Giddey (left hamstring strain): Questionable<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Williams (right ankle sprain): Questionable<\/p>\n<p>Zach Collins (right toe sprain): Out<\/p>\n<p>Noa Essengue (Left shoulder surgery): Out for the season<\/p>\n<p>Clippers injury report<\/p>\n<p>Not Yet Submitted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Bulls will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
