They are looking to take a step forward in the coming season after missing the playoffs and finishing below .500 with a 39-43 record in the last campaign.</p><p>If the Bulls are to make a big improvement, Ayo Dosunmu will have to be among the key contributors. However, it seems like Dosunmu’s status, at least for the Bulls’ next preseason game is in jeopardy after he <a href="https://x.com/chicagobulls/status/1845277036526338298" rel="noopener">suffered an upper-body injury</a> during Saturday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies at United Center.</p><p>“Injury Update: Ayo Dosunmu (left shoulder) is out for the remainder of tonight’s game,” Chicago announced on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>Before he left the Grizzlies game, the former Illinois Fighting Illini star guard produced seven points on 2-for-4 shooting from the floor, grabbed two rebounds, and had a steal in 14 minutes of action on the floor. He was a plus-1 at the time of his departure from the contest but also had three turnovers. Dosunmu started against the Grizzlies in lieu of Coby White, who <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1845228097647395253" rel="noopener">sat out the game with a groin issue</a>, per K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network.</p><p>Dosunmu, who inked a three-year contract worth $21 million with Chicago in the summer of 2023, is coming off his best season so far in his young NBA career. The 24-year-old Dosunmu averaged 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists through 76 games (incluiding 37 starts) for the Bulls in the 2023-24 campaign while also shooting 50.1 percent from the floor and registering a 40.3 percent success rate from behind the arc on 3.9 3-point attempts per outing.</p><h2><b>Bulls have to sort out a packed backcourt </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Bulls-head-coach-Billy-Donovan-talks-with-Ayo-Dosunmu.jpg"><figcaption>David Banks-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-lonzo-ball-provides-key-update-on-preseason-injury-status">Bulls have a crowded backcourt</a> that, apart from Dosunmu and White, features the likes of Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, and newcomer Josh Giddey, who was acquired by Chicago in the offseason via a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Alex Caruso. The onus is on Bulls head coach Billy Donovan to find the right balance in deploying and distributing the minutes to the team’s backcourt weapons.</p><p>Chicago, which lost to the Grizzlies, 124-121, has three more games left to play in the preseason. Up next for the Bulls is a date with the Milwaukee Bucks on the road this Monday. The Bulls will finish their preseason assignments with matchups versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday and Friday — both at home — respectively.</p><p>The Bulls will then kick off their 2024-25 schedule on Oct. 23 against the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was a disappointing season, but one positive take away was the play of Ayo Dosunmu.</p><p>Seeing Ayo Dosunmu excel was very cool for a lot of Bulls fans. Dosunmu has been around Chicago for his entire life as he was born there, and then he didn’t go far for college as he played for Illinois. Dosunmu was a star for the Fighting Illini, and he ended up getting drafted by the Bulls in 2021. He was picked in the second round by Chicago with the 38th overall pick.</p><p>Dosunmu’s first two seasons in the NBA were solid, but he really burst onto the scene this past season. In his rookie year, Dosunmu averaged 8.8 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 3.3 APG. His numbers were very similar during his second season as he averaged 8.6 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 2.6 APG. This past season saw a bump. Dosunmu emerged as legitimate scoring threat for the Bulls, and he ended up averaging 12.2 PPG. He once again averaged 2.8 RPG, and he averaged 3.2 APG.</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu had a great year, and now the next step for him is to continue on this upward trajectory.

Dosunmu ended up playing even better than his numbers indicate.</p><p>Next season is going to be a big one for Dosunmu. He emerged as one of the better players on the Bulls last season, and he wants to be able to keep that up. Dosunmu needs to be prepared to be defended differently as well. He is one of the better scorers, so he will have better defenders on him. We saw this with Coby White last year, and it did give him some issues, so that will be interesting to keep an eye on.</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu was spectacular during this past season, and he is going to be an exciting player to watch on the Bulls next year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The toughest blow for Chicago on that night was the loss of Ayo Dosunmu, however. Dosunmu has had a breakout season this year and he has made his way into the starting lineup. He has stepped up big time this season, but he suffered a right quad injury on Sunday. He is out on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks, and head coach Billy Donovan provided an injury update on him before the game.</p><p>“Just that thigh contusion that he had last game,” Billy Donovan told the media on Tuesday. “I don’t know how long it will or will not be, just because I think he felt okay after the game in Orlando, and then I think that after that, he just didn’t get a lot of [rest]. After he felt a little bit better, it just hasn’t really progressed, so to speak. It’s better than it was before the game, but not at the rate we needed it to be. He still has some inability to utilize that quad muscle right now, so they’re trying to get that calmed down. I just don’t know how long it will be.”</p><p>This is a tough situation for the Bulls. These last four games are crucial for home-court advantage, but they know they are locked into that nine-ten game no matter what. It is important for Ayo Dosunmu to get some rest for the postseason hits.</p><h2><b>Ayo Dosunmu’s breakout season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ayo-Dosunmu-vs-1.jpg"><figcaption>© Mike Watters-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>This season <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4397002/ayo-dosunmu" rel="noopener">has been a big one</a> for Dosunmu. He has been solid in his previous two years in the NBA, but he has had a big breakout season for the Bulls. In his past two seasons, Dosunmu has averaged 8.8 and 8.6 PPG. He has emerged as more of a scorer this season and he has become a starter. He is averaging 12.2 PPG.</p><p>It will be crucial for the Bulls to have Ayo Dosunmu healthy in the postseason. This team has dealt with so many injuries this year, and losing another starter would be detrimental right now.

He isn’t the star of the show, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovans-thoughts-post-all-star-break-foul-decline">but Dosunmu’s improvements</a> from previous years have been drastic, and he is now a starter and a consistent <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-brings-back-familiar-face-10-day-deal">scorer for the Bulls</a>. He has had a tremendous season.</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu has been getting a similar amount of playing time this season as past years, but the difference has been his scoring and the fact that he has earned a spot in the starting lineup. He hadn’t averaged above 8.8 PPG in a season before, and he is now averaging 11.8. He has been much better in the second half of the season, however, as he is averaging 17.5 PPG post All-Star break.</p><h2><b>There is always room for improvement with Ayo Dosunmu</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Ayo-Dosunmu-vs.-the-Rockets.jpg"><figcaption>© Erik Williams-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>It’s been a good season for Dosunmu, but there is always room for improvement. Bulls head Billy Donovan discussed Dosunmu and his big season after a recent loss to the Houston Rockets, and he revealed the biggest thing that he wants to see him get better at.</p><p>“I think the biggest thing I’ve been challenging him on is <a href="https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/tempers-flare-as-bulls-fall-to-rockets-on-the-road-127-117" rel="noopener">the consistency part</a>, and again, not really basing it on the scoring, although he’s had some pretty good scoring nights these last three games, I think it’s how he’s playing,” Billy Donovan said, according to an article from NBA.com. “He’s getting downhill (to the basket), he’s making good decisions, he’s taking the shots that are high percentage good shots for him, and I think he’s making good decisions with the ball. Just need for him to continue to emerge and continue to get better. I (also) was really pleased with Coby tonight (13 points off the bench), the way he looked physically. I thought he had really good bounce, his legs looked back under him. He’ll get his timing back once he starts to play a little bit more, but I thought physically he looked good.”</p><p>Dosunmu hasn’t been with the Bulls for that long, and his surge is still recent. He is only 24 years old and is clearly still in his growing phase. As he continues to grow and get comfortable in his new role, that consistency should come.</p><p>As Dosunmu continues to play with the Bulls, he should continue to flourish. He has been great this season, and he is just getting started.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was the Detroit Pistons then, and on Saturday night, it was the Washington Wizards <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicagos-latest-injury-adds-depth-concern-amid-playoff-push" rel="noopener">that came to Chicago</a> with the worst record in the league. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovan-sounds-off-coby-white-learning-amid-breakout-year-recent-injury" rel="noopener">The Bulls needed a win</a>, and they easily cruised to a victory behind Ayo Dosunmu scoring a career-high 34 points. Chicago won 127-98.</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu has <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4397002/ayo-dosunmu" rel="noopener">burst onto the scene</a> this year for the Bulls. He has now been a consistent starter for the team and he is starting to become a real scoring threat. Dosunmu has made a ton of progress this season, and Billy Donovan gave him a lot of credit after Saturday’s win for what Dosunmu did in the offseason to get better.</p><p>“I give him credit, he worked really really hard this summer,” Billy Donovan told the media after the game. “He was going twice a day, and because he’s from Chicago he used our facility all the time. He’d come in in the morning and come back in the afternoon. He really worked on a lot of different things. I do think there’s more room for improvement for him. I think he had to solve some things for himself, talking to him a little bit about the way he was being guarded and I think watching film with that and having some different things that he needed to do. …One thing I admire about him is when things are in front of him, he works really hard to get better at them.”</p><p>Say what you want about the Bulls, but they have had numerous players step up this season in the absence of others, and it has been crucial for their season. Chicago has faced a lot of adversity and very easily could’ve folded this season. They are fighting hard to try to get into the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
