Josh Giddey Returns Just in Time for Bulls' Crucial Play-In Clash
Alright, big news for all basketball fans — Josh Giddey is back and ready to hit the court when it matters most. After sitting out the last couple of regular season games due to a wrist injury, the Aussie star has officially been cleared to suit up for the Chicago Bulls in their high-stakes NBA Play-In game against the Miami Heat. This is huge for the Bulls, who finished ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 39-43 record — just two wins ahead of Miami.
Now, if you’ve been following Giddey’s journey, you know this season has been something special. In his first year with Chicago, after that off-season trade from Oklahoma City, he’s been doing serious work. We're talking about averages of 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game. That stat line is no joke — in fact, it places Giddey in some elite company. He’s now one of only two players in Bulls history to average at least 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in a season. The other? None other than Michael Jordan. Yep, MJ. Let that sink in.

And if that wasn’t enough, Giddey has absolutely torched Miami this season. In their three regular-season meetings — all of which Chicago won — Giddey averaged a triple-double: 26 points, 10 assists, and 10.3 boards per game. So yeah, Miami probably isn’t thrilled about seeing him back on the floor.
This game isn’t just about pride — it’s win or go home. If the Bulls take the W, they move on to face Atlanta for a shot at the playoffs and a meeting with top-seeded Cleveland. But a loss? Season over.
Bulls coach Billy Donovan has already shared there was "high level optimism" around Giddey’s return, and now that it’s official, fans have every reason to feel hyped. The timing couldn’t be better. His presence adds serious depth, vision, and leadership to this young Bulls squad, especially when everything is on the line.
So yeah, buckle up. Giddey’s back, the Bulls are hungry, and this Play-In showdown with Miami is about to get real.
