Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey expects to play Thursday against Toronto after completing a full practice on Wednesday. The 21-year-old has been sidelined since January 28 with a left hamstring strain.
Giddey’s return would mark his first appearance since Chicago retooled its backcourt, dealing Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Dalen Terry, waiving Jevon Carter, and acquiring Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey and rookie Rob Dillingham.
