Julia Poe: Billy Donovan says Josh Giddey is doing much better than expected. Thought it might be a few weeks. Came in able to walk on his own yesterday. Still will be out for a bit, but will likely travel on that long road trip.

Josh Giddey feels lucky to have avoided a serious ankle injury in Monday’s win over Indiana.
But with Lonzo Ball still sidelined due to a wrist sprain, the Bulls suddenly face a guard problem.

Josh Giddey left the UC Monday night in a walking boot.
He spent overnight in a Game Ready Ice Machine, waking up every 40 minutes to turn it back on. Was able to walk the next morning.
Won’t play tomorrow but said the pain is much better than expected. “Day to day” now. pic.x.com/p1K95pzc5g – 2:38 PM

You might have seen the same question around the NBA in recent weeks:
What the hell changed with Josh Giddey?
Talked to Josh about taking a reset, being a “point forward”, cutting back on his favorite shot and what it all means in a contract year: chicagotribune.com/2025/03/10/chi… – 3:43 PM

More on this storyline
KC Johnson: Billy Donovan said Josh Giddey is doing much better than first anticipated. Out of walking boot. But he is “going to be out for a little bit.”’ -via Twitter @KCJHoop / March 12, 2025
KC Johnson: Josh Giddey painted even more optimistic picture. Out tomorrow but will travel on upcoming trip. Walked over to meet media without a limp. Said it’s the most pain he’s ever experienced with a rolled ankle but pain and swelling both way down. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / March 12, 2025
Veteran NBA reporter Brian Windhorst told ESPN he expects the Bulls to re-sign Giddey for a contract worth around USD $30 million (A$47 million) per season. “This is the kind of play I thought he (Giddey) would have all year,” Windhorst said. “His role was sort of limited. After the trades they’ve opened up his role (and) this is the player he can be. “The going rate for a starting point guard in the NBA is around thirty million dollars. He is their starter. “If you look at a guy like Immanuel Quickley, he got five years and $162 million (A$257 million) — that’s about $32 million a year. I’m sure Josh Giddey’s hoping for something like that. -via FOXSports.com / March 12, 2025
