MINNEAPOLIS – Josh Giddey jokingly downplayed his excitement for his return before Thursday’s game.
It had been 11 games in street clothes because of a strained left hamstring, and he was on a minutes restriction, but with 5:30 left in the first quarter against the Timberwolves, finally the point guard checked in and was back in action.
Thirteen quick points, a rebound and a steal, like he had never left.
So what exactly did his presence mean for the Bulls? Considering they were 6-5 without him, maybe not much. Give it time, according to Billy Donovan.
