Giddey (hamstring) recorded 21 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-115 win over the Timberwolves.

Giddey came off the bench in his first action since Dec. 29 after putting a left hamstring strain behind him. He didn't need much time to shake off the rust, as he shot the basketball efficiently from the field and also managed to contribute on the opposite end of the court. Considering he hadn't played in nearly a month, the 23-year-old logged a sizable workload Thursday, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to return to the starting five for the Bulls' next game Saturday versus the Celtics.
