Dates for when Josh Giddey, Bulls will clash with OKC Thunder during 2024-25 season revealed

After three seasons, Josh Giddey waved goodbye to OKC earlier this offseason. The 21-year-old declined the chance to come off the bench next season to return to a primary ball-handler role.

The Oklahoma City Thunder shipped Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for Alex Caruso. It’s a move that made sense for both parties after the former had his worst season yet in OKC last year.

The Thunder announced their 2024-25 regular season schedule and their two contests against the Bulls are spread across the seven-month campaign. They will travel to Chicago early in the season on Oct. 26 to face Giddey.

Giddey’s return to OKC won’t happen until deep into the regular season. The Bulls will face the Thunder at Paycom Center on Mar. 31.

This will mark his return since being traded. Expect Giddey to receive loud applause. Even though he asked out and didn’t get a second contract with the Thunder, the 21-year-old was a clear fan favorite during his time in OKC.
