Josh Giddy, Kobe White get injury timeouts due to injury concerns
The Chicago Bulls not only did they lose 136-101 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, but they lost both Josh Giddei and Coby White in this game due to injury.
White left the game after just seven minutes with a left calf injury, and Giddy came off after 18 minutes with a hamstring injury. Both Bulls guards will now miss some time, as the team revealed the injury deadlines on Wednesday before the calendar turns to 2026.
After it was announced that Giddei would miss several weeks hamstring injury, the Bulls announced Wednesday afternoon that their young star suffered a left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
As for White, he is dealing with a strained right calf and will be re-evaluated in a week. Chicago is also out Zach Collins for the next few games with a sprained right finger, and he will be re-evaluated in 10 days.
Injury concerns are spreading like wildfire for the Bulls right now. Losing White and Giddy in the same game is a major concern for this team, given their offensive production this season.
The Bulls currently rank 21st in offensive rating and 12th in points per game this season. Their task of climbing the Eastern Conference standings entering 2026 has become much more difficult without White and Giddy, who account for approximately 32 percent of the team’s total output.
Both guards are averaging 19.2 points per game this season, and Gidi is tied with Nikola Vucevic for the most triples (56) this season in Chicago.
Without Giddy and White on the field, the head coach Billy Donovan will rely on Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmoin as focal points in the hinterland. With the trade deadline weeks away, White’s injury and Dosunmu’s increased minutes could drastically change the Bulls’ market.
Further updates on Giddy and White will be provided by the Bulls during the first week of the new year.
