The Chicago Bulls point guard, who suffered a hamstring strain midway through an ill-fated 136-101 loss to Minnesota last month and had been gone ever since, will be playing on a minutes restriction.
Minnesota, meanwhile, is highly motivated to end a three-game losing skid as its front office and coaches get a chance to scout some of their preferred Bulls trade prospects i...

Nearly a month after he was forced to depart the Chicago Bulls’ doomed Dec. 29 tilt against the then-mighty (now-mortal) Minnesota Timberwolves, point guard Josh Giddey is making his long-awaited return to the lineup for a rematch on Thursday night.
Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network , the 23-year-old will be playing on a 24-minute restriction. It’s unclear if he will start.
The 6-foot-7 Aussie has sat out Chicago’s last 11 contests due to a hamstring strain, during which the...
