NBA: Bulls' Josh Giddey, Tre Jones probable to return vs. Raptors

Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey and Tre Jones are listed as probable to return to the court for Thursday’s game against the visiting Toronto Raptors.

Both players have been sidelined with left hamstring injuries.

Giddey has missed the past eight games after aggravating the injury against the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 28. He initially injured his hamstring on Dec. 29 against the Minnesota Timberwolves and missed 11 games at that time.

The 23-year-old Giddey is enjoying career-best averages this season with 18.6 points, 8.8 assists, and 8.6 rebounds in 34 games (31 starts). In 314 career games (310 starts) with the Oklahoma City Thunder (2021-24) and Bulls, he has averaged 14.6 points, 7.6 assists, and 6.4 rebounds since being selected sixth overall in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Jones, 26, has not played since Jan. 22. He is averaging 12.4 points, 5.8 assists, and a team-leading 1.3 steals in 38 games (20 starts) this season.
