Josh Giddey Injury: Not playing Friday

Giddey (forearm) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Giddey will sit for the second time in Chicago's last three contests, and it's unclear if he'll be at full speed for the upcoming Play-In Tournament. However, the injury didn't seem to bother him Wednesday, as Giddey posted 28 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during a 119-111 win over Miami. Julian Phillips will start in place of Giddey on Friday.
