From The Logo with Jimmer Fredette: What was it like for Josh Giddey designing his own shoe with Puma? @jimmerfredette @joshgiddey @Spencer_Linton #nba #nbaplayoffs #sneakers #puma #australia
K.C. Johnson: Josh Giddey out, Matas Buzelis out, Nick Richards out Vs. Suns, per Donovan
The Bulls have upgraded Josh Giddey (left hamstring injury management) and Nick Richards (right elbow sprain) to questionable for Sunday’s game against Phoenix. Collin Sexton (right finger mallet) and Lachlan Olbrich (bilateral plantar fasciitis) are probable.
Joel Lorenzi: Billy Donovan on his recollection of the Philly trip Ivey mentioned last night on a podcast, when he claimed he offered to fly to join the team and play but was ruled out for the season: “We thought that was the best thing for his health. I respect Jaden, like Josh Giddey, wanting to play. … The doctors sometimes have to save players from themselves.”

Joel Lorenzi: Billy Donovan says Josh Giddey is OUT tonight, experiencing tightness again in the hamstring. Calls him day-to-day. Asked if he's considered shutting him down says "all these guys, if they're healthy, they want to play."
It wasn’t a good way to end a day that started with the news that guard Jaden Ivey was waived for conduct detrimental to the team. ‘‘He’s a very talented player,’’ guard Josh Giddey said of the Ivey news. ‘‘Obviously, the whole thing is kind of unfortunate in a way. I hope he gets the help he needs, whatever he’s going through or not going through. I do really hope he gets help. It’s not going to be with the Bulls anymore, but wherever it is, I hope he gets it.’’
Dillon Brooks gives his opinion on the players ranked above him in the NBA top-50 Joel Embiid: "No, he's too hurt you can probably go to sleep for a straight week and he's probably hurt again" Austin Reaves: "Man a foul baiter" Shaedon Sharpe: "I'm not rating him" Julius Randle: "One of the biggest complainers, he wants all the calls because he plays the most physical him, Zion Williamson and Giannis play so physical" Paolo Banchero: "Down year for Paolo, could be way better he's supposed be LeBron status" LeBron James: "He ain't having a better year than me" Josh Giddey: "Hell no" Rudy Gobert: "Nah" Michael Porter Jr: "He having a good year" Desmond Bane: "That's my young boy" Kon Knueppel: "He's having a good year" Bradon Ingram: "I rate his game all the way" Diontae George: "He's having a great year but he's SOFT" Amen Thompson: "That's my guy" Cooper Flagg: "I rate him.. not a better year than me because if I was with the Mavs would be in the playoff hunt"
K.C. Johnson: Bulls upgrade Patrick Williams and Jalen Smith to questionable vs. Kings. Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey also listed as questionable.

K.C. Johnson: Josh Giddey, who did return after rolling his ankle, also has an ankle sprain, per Donovan. Both will be evaluated on Weds, per Donovan
Joel Lorenzi: Bulls get their first win since Jan. 31, 120-97, over Milwaukee. Had a 27-0 run. Lot of Leonard Miller who was a +38 (!!!). Lot of Collin Sexton, who had 22 on 9/14 shooting (which apparently meant less Rob Dillingham). Bulls break 11-game skid.
Blake Murphy: Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith are available for Bulls. A few minutes restrictions on Bulls side but Unseld not providing specifics. Jonathan Mogbo back from 905
