CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls will be without three rotation players for a while.
The team announced Wednesday afternoon that guard Josh Giddey will be reevaluated in two weeks with a strained left hamstring; guard Coby White has right calf tightness and will be reevaluated in one week; and backup center Zach Collins will be reevaluated in 10 days with a sprained right toe.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Tuesday night that Giddey will be out for at least a few weeks, which, combined with White, leaves Chicago without its starting backcourt and two leading scorers entering a stretch of five games in the next seven days.
Both Giddey and White left Monday’s game against the Timberwolves with injuries. Giddey was in the midst of a career year, averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists and 8.9 rebounds, all career bests. White was also averaging 19.2 points per game, on 45% shooting, and was working his way back into a groove after missing the start of the season with a calf strain suffered in August.
Collins also missed the start of the season, in his case with a broken left wrist. He returned for 10 games and was averaging 9.7 points and 5.6 rebounds.
The Bulls have dropped back-to-back games following a five-game winning streak in December. They enter Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans 15-17, having already registered a pair of five-game winning streaks and two separate five-game losing streaks during the 2025-26 season.
