The Chicago Bulls secured a commanding 121-103 victory over the Indiana Pacers at home on Tuesday, but the celebration was dampened by a concerning moment in the fourth quarter. Josh Giddey, who put up an impressive 29 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, left the game with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
With 7:32 remaining, the Bulls guard appeared to roll his right ankle and immediately walked off the court in frustration, heading straight to the locker room. The team later announced that Giddey would not return for the rest of the game, leaving Bulls fans anxiously awaiting further updates.
While Chicago has struggled recently-winning only four of its last 10 games-Giddey’s stellar play has been a bright spot. His early exit against Indiana has left fans uneasy about its impact on the team.
“I want off this ride,” one fan posted, echoing the frustration of many.
“The Bulls point guard position is cursed ,” another lamented, referencing the team’s injury woes at the position.
Hoping for good news, one fan shared, “Prayers up that this isn’t a major injury for Josh Giddey moving forward. #SeeRed #BullsNation.”
Others took a more optimistic approach.
“Just rest him so he can be ready for our championship run next year,” one fan suggested, while another added, “He was crazy good again. Let’s hope his ankle is only minor. Giddey has breathed belief in this group.”
As Chicago fights for postseason positioning, losing Giddey for an extended period would be a significant blow. Bulls fans now anxiously wait, hoping their rising star’s injury won’t derail the team’s momentum.
