Dominant in win Giddey finished Wednesday's 115-111 win over Detroit with 19 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 29 minutes.
The Scoop: Giddey signed a four-year, $100 million extension in September after months of negotiation, but he knew his worth and put that on display Wednesday as he led the Bulls to an Opening Night win. Giddey projects to be a nightly triple-double threat as Chicago's lead playmaker, and he's likely to see a short-term bump in usage until Coby White (ankle) is cleared to return. Oct 23 1:27 ET |
