The Chicago Bulls will come back to the court Sunday night as they take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center. The Bulls are on a four-game losing streak and are looking to get back on their winning ways.
The Bulls will take the court without Zach Collins, who is out with a left scaphold fracture. The good news for the Bulls is that they might be getting Josh Giddey back in the lineup as he recovers from a right ankle sprain. The most recent injury report lists Giddey as probable.
Coby White has been upgraded from out to questionable. White has been dealing with a right calf sprain.
Tre Jones is also listed as questionable with a left ankle impingement.
Bulls forward Matas Buzelis finished with 21 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks at Detroit (11/14). Buzelis is the first Bulls player age 21 or younger to record at least 21 points and 14 rebounds in a game since 2018-19 (Lauri Markkanen).
