The Chicago Bulls decided to part ways with DeMar DeRozan this past offseason, sending him to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade deal that officially ended the big three era with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. It also was the end of Alex Caruso's time in Chicago too, as they agreed to a deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder to land guard Josh Giddey.

The former sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Giddey showed positive signs of progression across his first two seasons with the team but took a step back in his third year when the focus went fully toward Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Now that he's been thriving in Chicago, his status for Saturday's contest against the Houston Rockets is in question.

Josh Giddey since the All-Star Break:

- 23.1 PPG

- 1.0 SPG
- 52/53/87 splits

- +89 plus-minus

According to the most recent injury report, Giddey is listed as doubtful for Saturday night's contest in Houston with a right ankle sprain that he suffered in the team's win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

It's been a tough battle for Giddey and his ankle problems, as he suffered a right ankle injury during the 2024 Olympics with Australia that caused him to miss time during the offseason. However, due to his recent stretch of play since the All-Star break, Bulls fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery and a new contract coming his way soon.

Tip-off in Houston between the Rockets and Bulls is set for 8:00 p.m. EST.
