Bulls guard Josh Giddey sat alone in the last seat on the bench Friday. All he could do, aside from brief moments when he squeezed his head in frustration, was stare at the floor. A white towel wrapped around his neck, Giddey was as down as he has been all season. With 8:51 left in […]
Bulls lack aggressiveness in blowout loss to Heat

Former Bulls assistant coach Johnny Bach inducted into team’s Ring of Honor
Horace Grant’s wife at the time was pregnant and needed to go to the doctor. But to do so required missing a practice, so he called then-Bulls assistant coach Johnny Bach.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers might not play against Bears. Is that really a good thing?
Aaron Rodgers “owns” the Bears. You’ve probably heard a thing or two about this before. But Rodgers, owner of a bum wrist, is — or is he? — about to quarterback the Steelers, not the Packers, at Soldier Field on Sunday. And the question is: Do Bears fans want so badly to beat this guy […]

‘Vooch’ delivers Bulls from a mess, but what about Patrick Williams?
PORTLAND, Ore. – The body is as good as it’s been since the Bulls made Patrick Williams the No. 4 overall selection in the 2020 draft. There’s a reason his teammates now refer to him as “Skinny Pat.” But the mind? That’s the real growth for Williams in Year 6. His minutes and scoring average […]
Playing time still a tough get for Bulls rookie forward Noa Essengue
PORTLAND – Billy Donovan admittedly thought it would happen in Denver. After all, the Bulls coach watched his team fall in double overtime the night before in Utah, get on a plane to the “Mile High City” afterwards, and then have to take on the powerhouse Nuggets less than 24 hours later.

Bulls and Josh Giddey end five-game losing streak and slow down a star

Bulls fall in double overtime to Jazz, ruining Coby White’s season debut
SALT LAKE CITY — The hair was dancing around as he curled around the screen at the top of the key and headed to the right side of the three-point line. That signature hair usually is for guard Coby White. The legs were the next to dance as he caught the inbound pass from Ayo […]

SALT LAKE CITY — All of a sudden, the Bulls’ glut of guards just might be coming in handy for coach Billy Donovan. On the same night that Josh Giddey (ankle) returned and Coby White (calf) was able to make his season debut, Tre Jones was on the shelf with a sore left ankle. Jones, […]
