With Giddey leading them, the Bulls are off to a 6-3 start and are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Chicago, however, is on a two-game losing streak; the most recent being a 128-122 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

While the loss must have stung, the game also saw Josh Giddey suffer an ankle injury after a nasty crossover by De’Andre Hunter midway through the third period. While Giddey returned to the game after a brief exit, he didn’t look the same thereafter and failed to score the rest of the night.

The injury concern seems to have carried over as the Bulls listed him as questionable on their injury report for their game against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. More clarity on his status is expected before tipoff.

As far as Saturday’s matchup is concerned, Giddey’s injury meant the Bulls were outscored 32-24 in the final period and they lost a game that they led for most of the 48 minutes.
