Coming off bench Dosunmu will play a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Warriors.

Impact Dosunmu, who has started in every game he has played this season, will come off the bench in favor of Alex Caruso. It looks like the Bulls are looking to shake things up with their starting unit. As a result, Dosunmu's minutes will presumably take a hit.

Active Wednesday Dosunmu (knee) is active Wednesday against Phoenix.

Probable Wednesday Dosunmu is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to a right thump sprain.

Impact Dosunmu likely picked up the injury sometime during the Bulls' win over the Jazz on Monday. Barring any major setbacks prior to game time though, the guard will presumably retain his normal starting role versus the Suns.

Efficient despite loss Friday Dosunmu provided 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 108-107 loss to the Magic.

Impact The second-year guard was coming off three straight games with single-digit scoring figures, but he bounced back and relied on his efficiency to finish with a decent stat line. Dosunmu continues to lack consistency on a game-to-game basis, but his role as the Bulls' starting point guard won't be under threat while Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out. Dosunmu is averaging 10.4 points on 49.4 percent shooting through nine games in November.

Has another quiet night Dosunmu closed Wednesday's 124-110 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact Dosunmu has been held to seven points or fewer in each of his last three contests. He's been dreadful from three over that brief period, going 0-for-7 with six turnovers to boot. The Illinois product will be in search of a rebound game Friday against the Magic, as he'd gotten off to a decent start to November by scoring in double figures in four of his first five contests prior to his current cold stretch.

Solid night against Nets Dosunmu recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 win over the Nets.

Impact After missing the Bulls' last game with a chest bruise, Dosunmu was back in the starting five and scored in double digits for the fourth straight contest. The second-year guard has provided solid production in the absence of Lonzo Ball (knee), and he will likely continue to start at point guard for the foreseeable future with Ball still lacking any kind of timetable for his return.

Questionable against Brooklyn Dosunmu (chest) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Dosunmu missed Saturday's loss to the 76ers after initially being listed as probable. However, he participated in Monday's practice session, and coach Billy Donovan said afterward that Dosunmu is trending toward playing Tuesday. However, the point guard will likely see how he feels Tuesday before the Bulls determine his status for the game.

Practices Monday Dosunmu (chest) practiced Monday and is trending toward playing Tuesday against the Nets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Out Saturday Dosunmu (chest) is out Saturday against the 76ers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The point guard's absence is surprising, given that he was listed as probable. In his absence, more minutes should be in store for Alex Caruso, Goran Dragic and Coby White.

Probable Saturday Dosunmu is probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to a thoracic contusion.

Returns to Friday's game Dosunmu (head) has returned to Friday's game against San Antonio, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dosunmu went to the locker room in the third quarter due to an apparent head injury, but he returned to the game in the fourth quarter. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability moving forward, but his quick return is certainly encouraging.

Heads to locker room Friday Dosunmu went to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Spurs due to an apparent head injury, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Dosunmu's head hit Keldon Johnson's knee on a fall in the third quarter of Friday's matchup, and Dosunmu immediately went to the locker room after being examined by trainers. He'll presumably be evaluated for a concussion, while Alex Caruso and Goran Dragic should see increased run down the stretch if Dosunmu is unable to return.

Shines against Boston Dosunmu amassed 22 points (9-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 120-102 win over Boston.

Impact This was one of the best performances of Dosunmu's young NBA career. Dosunmu is expected to remain a starter as long as Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out, and while the return of Zach LaVine should reduce his ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities, he's still expected to be a decent fantasy contributor as long as he remains in this starting role.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Effective as starting point guard Dosunmu ended Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Heat with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes.

Impact As expected, Dosunmu served as Chicago's starting point guard to begin the regular season since Lonzo Ball (knee) is unavailable. Dosunmu was productive when serving as a starter during his rookie season, and he posted a well-rounded stat line Wednesday to help lead the Bulls to a win to begin the 2022-23 campaign. Ball is expected to be sidelined for at least a few months, so Dosunmu should continue to see significant minutes.
