Bulls coach Billy Donovan feels guard Josh Giddey is investment worthy

Josh Giddey was still in street clothes for Monday’s game with the Bucks, but there was progress with the sprained right ankle.

Some shooting, some more work on the court, but “still not at a place where he can play,” coach Billy Donovan said.

The hope is Giddey can ramp up that rehab work and start having a more definite timetable by next week. That’s the small picture with the point guard. The big picture? Has Giddey shown enough where the Bulls would feel comfortable enough to invest in an extension?

The Sun-Times reported last month that Giddey was initially looking for a Jalen Suggs-like extension after the Orlando guard was signed to a five-year, $150.
