Chicago's Monday injury report moved Josh Giddey from Day-To-Day to Cleared. The guard is no longer carrying any designation into the Bulls' next game.
What happened
The Bulls' injury report updated Monday, Sep. 28 at 2:20 PM ET, moving Josh Giddey from Day-To-Day to Cleared. Giddey had first appeared on the report on Sep. 6 as Day-To-Day with an ankle issue on his right leg. Monday's update carries no additional detail and no comment from the team, and Chicago has not announced any further timeline beyond the clearance itself.
What it means for the Bulls
Giddey's clearance comes ahead of Chicago's next game, at home against the Suns on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8:00 PM ET. Last season he averaged 17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 32.1 minutes over 54 games, numbers that make him a lead ballhandler for this roster. In games he has missed, Chicago has leaned on Coby White (29.1 minutes, 18.6 points), Anfernee Simons (28.4 minutes, 15.2 points), Tre Jones (27.0 minutes, 14.1 points) and Ayo Dosunmu (26.4 minutes, 15.0 points) to fill the backcourt minutes. The Bulls are 0-0, with the 2026-27 season not yet underway, so there is no record split with or without him yet.
What to watch
With Giddey cleared, the next injury report will show whether the status holds through the Suns game on Oct. 7. No expected return timeline was needed or announced, since he is no longer listed as day-to-day. The schedule beyond that game has not been detailed here, so his status update will be the marker to track heading into it.
Is Josh Giddey playing vs Suns?

When will Josh Giddey be back?
He already is back. The Sep. 28 report cleared him after a Day-To-Day stretch that began Sep. 6 with a right ankle issue, and no further return timeline was necessary.
