On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls<\/a> had a rough go at it against the Sacramento Kings. Collin Sexton left the game with a lower leg contusion<\/a> after having a great game with 28 points. In the end, the Bulls lost to the lowly Kings 126-110.<\/p>\n

However, there was one bright spot. Josh Giddey<\/a> finished with a triple-double of 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. Not only that, he managed to surpass<\/a> Scottie Pippen<\/a> for second on the Bulls’ all-time triple-double list with 16, per K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network.<\/p>\n

That leaves Giddey trailing Michael Jordan, who has 28.<\/p>\n

Giddey was questionable to play<\/a> after coming off a recent ankle injury<\/a>. He didn’t play in the Bulls’ game against the Phoenix Suns on March 5, in which Chicago won 105-103. Altogether, Giddey is averaging 17.6 points, 8.5 assists, and 8.3 rebounds per game. Overall, he has played in 42 games this season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bulls are now 28-38. Plus, they have lost eight out of their last ten games. Currently, Chicago is in the midst of a five-game road trip. On Tuesday, they will head to Golden State to play the Warriors. Then, they will play the LA Lakers on Thursday, followed by the Clippers on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Bulls will be back in Chicago on March 16 to play the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

Giddey is in the midst of his second season with the Bulls. Last summer, he signed a four-year, $100 million deal<\/a>, signifying that he is considered the franchise player.<\/p>\n

Pippen played with the Bulls from 1987 to 1998 and from 2003 to 2004. He was a major catalyst for the six championships won from 1991 to 1998.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls had a rough go at it against the Sacramento Kings.
