Why are we pulling it back?</p><p>“He’s much better and improved shooting the three,” Haugh said. “Obviously last night you saw some of that and you are gonna see that continue. I don’t want to say it’s crazy, but here’s what gives me hesitation. I’m not convince he’s going to be coming off the bench all year. If he’s starting more than half the games, I don’t think you can win Sixth Man of the Year.”</p><p>In the season opener, Dosunmu scored 14 points and had 5 rebounds in a 115-111 win over the Detroit Pistons.

Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network.</p><p>Earlier on Tuesday, Johnson reported that the statuses of Dosunmu and Williams <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1980688227460657650" rel="noopener">weren’t clear</a> due to them battling injuries sustained during the preseason. However, both went through practice.</p><p>Williams is battling a groin injury, and Dosunmu is nursing a sore thumb. Dosunmu said to Johnson that he had hurt his thumb during the Bulls’ preseason game against the Denver Nuggets.</p><p>Although Dosunmu <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-editorials/bulls-ayo-dosunmu-preseason-excellence-comeback-season">had a pretty solid preseason</a> based on his numbers. He averaged 16.3 points per game and shot 59.4% from the field. Also, he scored 22 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 12 in which the Bulls lost 127-121.</p><p>As for Williams, he is coming off an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-patrick-williams-ankle-injury-training-camp">ankle injury sustained during training camp</a>. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-chicago-patrick-williams-injury-update">Williams was cleared to practice</a> shortly thereafter. Altogether, he averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and shot 50% from the field.</p><p>Against the Bucks, he scored 10 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out five assists. Then, Williams scored 11 points and handed out three assists in the Bulls’ 119-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 9.</p><h2><b>Dosunmu and Williams’ recent battles with injuries </b></h2><p>Last season, Dosunmu sustained a shoulder injury that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-ayo-dosunmu-season-ending-shoulder-surgery">required surgery</a>. As a result, he missed 36 games in total. In the end, Dosunmu averaged 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game and played in 46 games.</p><p>In 2024, Williams suffered a foot injury and later <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-patrick-williams-to-undergo-season-ending-foot-surgery">had to undergo surgery himself</a>. His recent ankle injury brought up concerns that he had severely reinjured his foot. He played 43 games and averaged 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game that season.</p><p>Last year, Williams averaged 9.8 points and 3.8 rebounds while playing in 63 games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, it doesn’t matter when you are Ayo Dosunmu of the Chicago Bulls, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-ayo-dosunmus-future-update-trade-speculation" rel="noopener">has something to prove</a>. </p><p>As the Bulls move forward, a certain amount of focus will be placed on Dosunmu. The simple reason is that he is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-ayo-dosunmu-season-ending-shoulder-surgery" rel="noopener">coming off shoulder surgery</a> following an injury that abruptly ended his 2024-2025 season in February. So far, Dosunmu is putting up some incredible preseason numbers, which provide optimism for what lies ahead this year. </p><p>On Sunday, he <a href="https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/matas-buzelis-ayo-dosunmu-shine-in-preseason-loss-to-the-bucks" rel="noopener">came alive</a> and scored 22 points in a competitive game against the Milwaukee Bucks, though the Bulls lost 127-121, per Sam Smith of NBA.com. Through three games, Dosunmu averaged 16.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. On Oct. 7, he scored 12 points in 19 minutes against the Cleveland Cavaliers. </p><p>Two days later, Dosunmu scored 16 points in 22 minutes of play. On Tuesday, the Bulls will play on the road against the Denver Nuggets. Then they will close out the preseason on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The start of the regular season is scheduled for Oct. 22 against the Detroit Pistons in Chicago. </p><p>Dosunmu is poised to start his fifth season with the Bulls. Before his shoulder gave out, he averaged 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game. </p><p>While Coby White <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-coby-white-injury-update-preseason-absence" rel="noopener">makes his gradual return</a> from a calf strain that has him out for the preseason, it is Dosunmu picking up the momentary slack. If he can carry that with him into the season, it would be redemption, and unlike LL Cool J, you can call it a comeback. </p><h2><b>A healthy and robust Ayo Dosunmu serves a multitude of purposes</b>.</h2><p>In this instance, there is no such thing as too much of a good thing. That is because when Dosunmu is at his best and his body is intact from head to toe, he is a dynamic player. In some ways, he is actually his own version of Coby White. </p><p>He can score in bunches, can push the tempo, and has matured into a respected leader. As a result, Dosunmu has emerged as a valued contributor. During the 2023-2024 season, he <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/why-ayo-dosunmu-making-legitimate-174430477.html" rel="noopener">performed so well</a> that he was in the hunt for the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. He averaged 12.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. </p><p>Eventually, Dosunmu made the transition from being a bench player to a starter. Heading into this season, his role as a starter is uncertain. That is because the Bulls are going to make room for Isaac Okoro after they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/lonzo-ball-isaac-okoro-trade-essential-cavs-bulls-kenny-atkinson-billy-donovan" rel="noopener">acquired him in a trade</a> that saw Lonzo Ball going to the Cavaliers. As a result, Dosunmu may be playing behind Okoro off the bench. </p><p>Nevertheless, Dosunmu can take the load off Okoro when it comes to defending the perimeter, which both excel at. Furthermore, Dosunmu can rebound effectively at both ends of the floor. In terms of playmaking, he can complement both White and Josh Giddey in that realm as a player who can take control of the flow of the game. </p><p>Altogether, the return of Ayo Dosunmu to prominence is a great relief to the Bulls from all angles. Plus, a fresh new start is always welcomed. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After sending Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a deal that brought back Isaac Okoro, it’s clear the Bulls are rethinking their backcourt plans and possibly getting ready for more changes.</p><p>According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, both White and Dosunmu are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/siegels-scoop-bradley-beal-jonathan-kuminga-nba-summer-league-intel">now attracting substantial trade interest</a> from teams around the league.</p><p>“Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have drawn plenty of trade interest around the league, sources said. More teams have inquired about Dosunmu since before the draft than White. While the Chicago Bulls could wind up holding onto both guards and address their futures at the trade deadline, there is still buzz that exists regarding one of these players being dealt this offseason,” Siegel wrote.</p><p>White, 25, is coming off the best season of his career, where he averaged 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.9 steals across 33.1 minutes per game. His shooting efficiency has notably improved, 45.3% from the field, 37.0% from 3, and 90.2% from the free-throw line, resulting in a 60.1% true shooting percentage (TS%). His performance peaked during a 14-game stretch in March, where he averaged an impressive 29.1 points per game, earning him the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award.</p><p>In his six seasons with Chicago, White has played 422 regular-season games, posting career averages of 15.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.</p><p>On the other hand, Dosunmu, also 25, may not have had a season like White’s, but his consistent contributions have not gone unnoticed. Dosunmu averaged 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.9 steals over 30.3 minutes per game during the 2024-25 campaign, while shooting 49.2% from the field, 32.8% from 3, and 78.5% from the line, with a 58.5% TS%. Over his 279-game career, he has posted averages of 10.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game.</p><p>This speculation comes at a time when the Bulls have limited salary cap flexibility. With over $153 million committed to salaries for the 2025-26 season, <a href="https://hoopshype.com/salaries/chicago_bulls/" rel="noopener">the franchise has roughly $1.5 million in remaining cap space</a>. White and Dosunmu are also both set to become free agents after the 2024-25 season, with current salaries of $12.8 million and $7.5 million.</p><p>The Bulls might be flying under the radar this offseason, but they’re quietly setting themselves up for a massive financial reset. Next summer could bring major financial flexibility for Chicago, with major contracts like Nikola Vucevic ($21.5 million), Zach Collins ($18 million), and Kevin Huerter ($18 million) set to come off the books, potentially clearing nearly $95 million in cap space. This creates urgency around making calculated roster decisions now, including the futures of White and Dosunmu, as the Bulls look to turn the page and build a more solid core.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That doesn’t mean he’s not going to get traded. … In my conversations with people that I talk to around the league, I’ve heard Ayo Dosunmu’s name way more than Coby White’s name.”</p><p>Johnson went on to say that he does think the Bulls are going to trade another guard after the Ball-for-Okoro deal because they want to re-sign Tre Jones, an unrestricted free agent. Jones played well in Chicago this past season after coming over in the Zach LaVine trade, though an injury ended his season early. There’s also the matter of Josh Giddey getting a new contract, which is a “priority,” making for a crowded backcourt if Jones does indeed return. Veteran Jevon Carter is back in the fold as well after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-jevon-carter-makes-6-8-million-contract-decision-before-free-agency">exercising his player option</a>.</p><p>With all this in mind, it seems as if Dosunmu is the likelier trade option than White, at least based on what Johnson is hearing.</p><p>“I’ve got my antenna up over which guard is going to be moved, and I can just tell you from my conversations I’ve heard Ayo’s name more than Coby’s name,” Johnson continued.</p><h2><b>Ayo Dosunmu vs. Coby White trade</b></h2><p>Both Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have one season left on their t<a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/yearly" rel="noopener">hree-year contracts</a>. Dosunmu is set to make $7.5 million, while White is at nearly $13 million. However, after White exploded in the last few months of the 2024-25 season, he’s in line for a substantial raise. Dosunmu, meanwhile, had somewhat of a down year and saw it end early due to injury.</p><p>White likely won’t extend his contract this offseason with the Bulls because he could get way more on the open market as a free agent in 2026. That should be taken into account in these trade talks, along with the question of whether White and Giddey make for a viable long-term starting backcourt. It’s unclear just what Chicago would need to make a White trade, with the assumption being it would require a huge offer. Is any team willing to make that kind of big offer to pry White away?</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-coby-white-posts-cryptic-ig-story-amid-trade-rumors">White raised eyebrows</a> with a cryptic Instagram post over the weekend, but as of right now, it seems as if he’s not going anywhere and that Dosunmu could be on the move. However, nothing is guaranteed in the NBA, so perhaps the Bulls have a surprise up their sleeve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls have to find a way to start trending in the right direction, and they haven’t positioned themselves well in the NBA Draft to change their directory that way. So, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">Bulls are expected to make some big trades</a> this offseason. Someone from the core will be gone next season, and Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu are both <a href="https://x.com/CHSN_Bulls/status/1935006143048290755" rel="noopener">potential trade options</a>.</p><p>The Bulls are likely going to re-sign Josh Giddey this offseason, and they will also likely look to trade away some key pieces. Insider K.C. Johnson thinks that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-insider-reveals-chicago-competitive-trade-desires">Chicago needs to make a decision and trade</a> either Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu.</p><p>“I’ve been saying for a while in my from my seat, they’ve got to try to look to trade either Ayo [Dosunmu] or Coby [White] because I think it’ll be very hard to resign both of them after next year, when they both have unrestricted free agency,” K.C. Johnson said on <i>The Chicago Lead. </i>“So I think you got to get out in front of things like that. What’s crazy is they value both those players highly, and they obviously are a big part of how they want to play stylistically, to your point, the stylistic change. So I think that’d be a tough decision to make, but that’s a front office’s job is to make hard decisions.”</p><p>If the Bulls are going to resign Giddey this year, they probably aren’t going to be resigning both White and Dosunmu next season. If a trade is going to happen eventually, it makes sense to do it now. Desmond Bane’s recent trade could have a big impact on the Bulls’ decision as well. If the Memphis Grizzlies can secure a huge package like that for Bane, can Chicago get something similar for White?</p><p>“I don’t have an answer to that in terms of what they’re planning on doing,” Johnson continued. “I think to your point, that is an accurate and fair question. What I would say is, first of all, Bane makes a lot more, so you’re going to get more back. And I would also argue that, I mean, as good as Coby White is, Bane is a much better defensive player. But yeah, I mean, again, you’ve got to make these hard decisions, because you’re not going to be resigning Josh Giddey this summer and Ayo Dosumu and Coby White after next summer. I just don’t see that. So I think you got to get out in front of one of those two situations.”</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have both grown into big roles with the Bulls over the year, but there is a decent chance that one of them is on the move soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of those players is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-ayo-dosunmu-season-ending-shoulder-surgery">Ayo Dosunmu, who is now out for the season</a> due to shoulder surgery. It would be easy for Dosunmu to get discouraged because of the season-ending injury, but he is taking a more positive approach to the time off.</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu is going to have a lot of time off, as his recovery will extend into the offseason. He won’t play in a regular season NBA game until October, and he has an idea of <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1897074506990280998" rel="noopener">how he will spend his free time</a> during the recovery process.</p><p>“Use this time away from the game to just find different hobbies, get connected to the Lord more, read more books,” Dosunmu said, according to a post from K.C. Johnson. “Find different things to do because I have so much time on my hands. Rather than look at it in a bad way, try to find light in the situation.”</p><p>Dosunmu has the right mindset regarding the injury. It is obviously disappointing that he won’t be able to be out there competing with his teammates, but it sounds like Dosunmu is going to make the most out of an unfortunate situation.</p><p>In the last couple of seasons, Dosunmu has emerged as a key player on this Bulls team. Dosunmu finished this season averaging a career-best 12.3 points per game, up slightly from 12.2 last year.</p><p>Dosunmu really started to break out last season, and his high level of play continued this year as well. It’s a shame that he isn’t able to finish out the rest of the season, but it will be exciting to see what he is able to accomplish once he is back to full strength.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Chicago is 2.5 games ahead of Philadelphia, which just ended a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/76ers-news-quentin-grimes-reveals-mindset-behind-career-best-performance-vs-warriors">nine-game losing streak</a>, and three games ahead of a Brooklyn team on a four-game losing streak. Another play-in spot is looking likely in The Windy City.</p><p>While Ayo Dosunmu has been a big contributor for the Bulls, they do have a bunch of guards on the roster to help replace his production. Josh Giddey, Coby White and Lonzo Ball have been in the starting lineup, while Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones are getting rotation minutes since coming over from the Sacramento Kings in the Zach LaVine trade. Jones will <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1896219595297697862" rel="noopener">likely see an uptick in minutes</a> with Dosunmu sidelined.</p><p>For Sunday’s game against the Pacers, Chicago’s <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-03-02_10AM.pdf" rel="noopener">injury report is lengthy</a>. In addition to Dosunmu, Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams remain out. Giddey, Ball and White are all probable, while Huerter is listed as questionable.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They could very well miss Coby White on Sunday afternoon, as the former North Carolina Tar Heel has been on a heater as of late, including an epic late-game dunk over Victor Wembanyama in a recent home win over the San Antonio Spurs. However, perhaps the presence of a red-hot Zach LaVine will be enough to get a win.</p><p>In any case, the Kings and Bulls are slated to tip things off at 3:30 p.m. ET. The Bulls will stay at home this week for games against the New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlotte Hornets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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.

They finished with a 39-43 record, and they once again ended up in the play-in tournament. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2-players-bulls-must-avoid-in-2024-nba-draft">The Bulls finished</a> in ninth place in the East, and they beat the Atlanta Hawks in their first play-in game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-bulls-passed-juicy-alex-caruso-trade-offers-deadline">Chicago would’ve made</a> the playoffs with a win against the Miami Heat after that, but they got blown out on the road. 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. Here is what he needs to do to make sure that happens.</p><h2><b>Next steps for Ayo Dosunmu</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Ayo-Dosunmu.jpg"><figcaption>© David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The next big step for Ayo Dosunmu is going to be finding a way to play the way he did during the back half of last season for an entire season. He <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/splits/_/id/4397002/ayo-dosunmu" rel="noopener">ended up averaging over</a> 12 PPG on the year, but in the months of February, March and April, he averaged over 15 PPG. 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>

There is still a lot for teams to sort out in terms of postseason standings, and one team fighting for seeding is the Chicago Bulls. We <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-demar-derozan-urges-more-chicago-desperation-amid-jekyll-hyde-tendencies">know that the Bulls</a> will be in the nine vs. 10 play-in game in the East against the Atlanta Hawks, but we don’t know who will get home-court advantage. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovan-linked-kentucky-basketball-job-john-calipari-exit">The Bulls currently hold</a> a one game advantage, but they just got some bad injury news for starter Ayo Dosunmu.</p><p>On Sunday night, the Bulls traveled to play the Orlando Magic and lost 113-98. 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. Dosunmu is resting up, and hopefully for Chicago he is good to go next week for the play-in tournament.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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.

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.
