Undermanned Bulls hoping to get right by Saturday’s game against Bucks
ATLANTA — Bulls guard Josh Giddey had a good on-the-court workout Thursday that involved sprinting and cutting — a major hurdle in his recovery from an injured right ankle. He could be ready to return Saturday against the Bucks after missing four straight games.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a long shot, but a lot is going to depend on how he responds off [Thursday’s] workout and then probably get another one in [Friday],” coach Billy Donovan said. “That will probably be a pretty good tell on if he’ll be available on Saturday.”
The Bulls could use him. After starting the season with almost too many guards, they faced the Hawks on Thursday night without Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu and Lonzo Ball. Ball missed the last game because of an illness and still wasn’t fully recovered, so the Bulls left him in Chicago. Donovan sounded confident he’d be available against the Bucks. Dosunmu has been dealing with a sore right Achilles tendon and will have it looked at Friday.
“It’s kind of lingered a little bit, gotten sorer and sorer,” Donovan said. “Some of it may be his minutes — I don’t know. He is uncomfortable with it right now in terms of planting, pushing off, springing, jumping.”
It’s going around
The Bulls have dealt with several players feeling under the weather the last month. The latest was rookie forward Matas Buzelis, who made the trip to Atlanta but was kept away from the rest of the team and didn’t play against the Hawks.
What was originally diagnosed as a sore right Achilles, the Bulls brought Dosunmu back to Chicago for imaging and saw it was a strain in the lower calf. The team will have a better idea of a timetable when he gets re-evaluated in 10 days.

The Chicago Bulls are feeling the pressure as they head into Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a short-handed roster. With key players like Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso out due to injury, the Bulls will need to dig deep and rely on their depth to secure a much-needed win.
Despite the challenges they face, the Bulls are not backing down. Head coach Billy Donovan is confident in his team’s ability to overcome adversity and come out on top against the Bucks. The players are determined to make a statement and show that they are a force to be reckoned with, even in the face of setbacks.
As they prepare for Saturday’s game, the Bulls are focusing on tightening up their defense and executing on offense. They know that they will need to bring their A-game if they want to compete with the powerhouse Bucks.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the matchup, hoping to see the Bulls rise to the occasion and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. With their backs against the wall, the Bulls are ready to fight for a much-needed victory and show that they are a team to be taken seriously. Let’s go Bulls! #BullsNation #RunWithUs
