On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls faced a tough challenge against the Sacramento Kings. After a stellar game with 28 points, Collin Sexton left the game with a lower leg injury. In the end, the Bulls lost to the weak Kings 126–110.
However, there was one bright spot. Josh Giddy finished with a triple-double of 15 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Not only this, according to Casey Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, he managed to surpass Scottie Pippen for second place on the Bulls’ all-time triple-double list with 16.
This leaves Giddy behind Michael Jordan, who has 28.
Giddy was doubtful to play after recovering from a recent ankle injury. He did not play in the Bulls’ game against the Phoenix Suns on March 5, which Chicago won 105–103. Overall, Giddy is averaging 17.6 points, 8.5 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game. Overall, he has played 42 games this season.
Meanwhile, the Bulls are now 28-38. Also, they have lost eight of their last ten matches. Currently, Chicago is in the middle of a five-game road trip. On Tuesday they will travel to Golden State to play the Warriors. Then, they play the LA Lakers on Thursday, followed by the Clippers on Friday.
The Bulls will return to Chicago on March 16 to play the Memphis Grizzlies.
Giddy is in the middle of his second season with the Bulls. Last summer, he signed a four-year, $100 million deal, indicating he is considered a franchise player.
Pippen played with the Bulls from 1987 to 1998 and 2003 to 2004. He was a major catalyst for the six championships won from 1991 to 1998.
