Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) has started his ramp-up period.
“This is going to be a big week for him,” coach Billy Donovan said.
Giddey has been out since straining his hamstring on Dec. 29 against the Wolves. The Bulls end the week with a home-and-home game against the Nets on Friday and Sunday. Because of the games, it doesn’t leave much practice time for Giddey. But he has been sprinting and cutting on the court.
Given he’s recovering from a soft-tissue injury, the Bulls are going to be cautious as they ease him back into basketball activities.
