3 takeaways as the Bulls beat the Nets — but the biggest cheers weren’t for the basketball

  • On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls beat the Brooklyn Nets 124-102 in Chicago and upgraded Josh Giddey, Chicago Bulls guard, from out to doubtful for the game.
  • On December 29, Josh Giddey suffered a strained right hamstring early in the second half of the Bulls' 136-101 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, keeping him out in 2026.
  • On Sunday, Josh Giddey, Chicago Bulls guard, practiced five-on-five with the NBA G-League's Windy City Bulls for the first time since his hamstring strain, and Bulls coach Billy Donovan said everything went well with extra work after practice while medical staff want a couple more sessions.
  • Giddey's doubtful status suggests he could return quickly, as the Bulls said they still hope he can come back later this week and fans were told to expect him back soon.
  • Before the injury, Giddey was making a case for his first All-Star, averaging 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and nine assists, and tied for second in triple-doubles with seven.
