The Bulls have listed guard Josh Giddey as out on Friday against the Wizards, as he deals with a right forearm injury. While Giddey appeared and shined in Chicago's last contest against the Miami Heat, he was sidelined the contest prior against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Since the All-Star break, Giddey has looked like a brand-new player. Over his last 12 games, he has been on a tear, averaging 20.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game. Unfortunately for Chicago, they'll be without their triple-double machine during their home regular season finale.
Only three players in Chicago Bulls history have a season with 1,000+ PTS, 500+ AST, & 500+ REB:
