Josh Giddey averaged 18.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.4 steals over the last 30 games in 2024-25.
The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has re-signed guard Josh Giddey. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Giddey, 6-8, 214, was acquired by Chicago via trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder on June 21, 2024, and his 2024-25 season totals of 1,022 points, 566 rebounds and 503 assists made him one of three NBA players to reach such minimums last season (LeBron James, Nikola Jokic). Giddey averaged 14.6 points, a career-high 8.1 rebounds, a team-high 7.2 assists and a career-best 1.2 steals in 30.2 minutes over 70 games (69 starts) in his debut season with the Bulls, becoming the second Bulls player to ever average at least 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in a single season (Michael Jordan).
The 22-year-old Australian native recorded personal single-season highs of 30 double-doubles and seven triple doubles, marking the most double-doubles by a Bulls guard since 1988-89 (Michael Jordan) and the second-most triple-doubles in a season by any position player in Bulls history (Michael Jordan). Giddey also made a career-high 105 three-pointers, helping Chicago set the team franchise record for three-pointers made (1,271) in a single year.
Over Giddey’s final 30 games (1/23-4/9), he posted clips of 18.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting .490 from the field and .436 from three-point range. Giddey had a 10-game stretch with 220 points, 96 rebounds and 100 assists from Feb. 26 to March 27, becoming one of eight NBA players to tally those minimums over such a span (Luka Doncic, James Harden, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Nikola Jokic, Michael Jordan, Russell Westbrook).
Giddey’s impactful season was also highlighted by historic single-game performances, including becoming the first NBA player with a stat line of 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists and eight steals in a game (at LAL, 3/22). He had two games with at least 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, making him one of two NBA guards last season with as many games (Josh Hart), and he was the only NBA guard with multiple games (3) of 25-plus points and 15-plus rebounds. Giddey’s single-game career high of 19 rebounds (vs. POR, 4/4) was also the most rebounds by a Bulls guard since 1971-72 (Jerry Sloan).
Throughout his four-year NBA career, Giddey has averaged 14.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.3 minutes across 280 games (279 starts). His career totals of 3,942 points, 2,100 rebounds and 1,703 assists through his first four NBA seasons put him in a group of eight players all-time who have reached those minimums in four years (Larry Bird, Luka Doncic, Grant Hill, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Oscar Roberston, Ben Simmons).
The former No. 6 overall selection the 2021 NBA Draft earned NBA Rising Stars selections in each of his first two seasons, as well as 2021-22 All-Rookie Second Team honors during his rookie campaign. He was named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month four times.
