Chicago has listed Giddey as questionable due to a hamstring strain that has kept him out since December 31, though there is a chance he could return against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Even if Giddey is able to return on Tuesday, it is likely that the Bulls will limit his minutes which could allow for Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu to continue to have increased roles.
