Bulls' Josh Giddey Sidelined for Weeks with Left Hamstring Strain

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans and is expected to miss "at least a few weeks" due to a left hamstring strain sustained in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. Sources indicate he could miss around 12 games, potentially returning in late January. Giddey, 23, was having a career season, averaging 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 9.0 assists (3rd in NBA), and was 14th in All-Star voting. His absence, alongside Coby White (calf), means Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones will start, with Kevin Huerter and Jevon Carter seeing increased minutes.
