AYO DOSUNMU NEWS

Posts 19 points, five steals Dosunmu registered 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and five steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Dosunmu had easily his best game since October, matching his career high with five steals. He added 19 points, the most he has scored in over two months. It's been a disappointing season for Dosunmu, who after opening as the starting point guard, saw his role cut in half in recent weeks. An injury to Alex Caruso opened the door for Dosunmu to step back into the starting lineup, a promotion that up until this game had yielded very little. He is not worth grabbing based on this performance but his production moving forward is worth keeping an eye on.

Back in starting lineup Friday Dosunmu had nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 118-117 win over the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu was back in the starting lineup for just the second time in his last 10 appearances. After averaging just 13.3 minutes per game in the previous four contests, he's played more than 30 minutes in each of the last two games and may be in line for more playing time with Alex Caruso (concussion) out. He's made 36.4 percent of his three-pointers in December after making just 32.3 percent over the first two months.

For the year, he's made 50.9 percent of his shots and 32.9 percent of his three-point tries, a slight decline from his rookie season.

Woeful production continues in loss Dosunmu posted five points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Sunday's 150-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Dosumu continues to struggle, scoring no more than five points for the third straight game. After opening the season as the starter, his role has basically been cut in half over the past week, to the point where he may not even be the primary backup. At this point, he is a risky play, even in deeper formats.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as available Dosunmu (pelvis) is available for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Dosunmu will be available for a second straight game following a one-game absence due to a pelvic contusion. However, the backup point guard saw only 15 minutes and was limited during Friday's loss to the Knicks, so Dosunmu will be a risky play in daily fantasy contests. Head coach Billy Donovan also noted that Dosunmu will be playing under a minutes restriction.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Sunday Dosunmu is considered probable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves despite a pelvic contusion.

Impact Dosunmu was limited to fewer than 20 minutes in Friday's game because of the issue, but he appears to have come out of the game unscathed for the most part. Barring a setback, Dosunmu should be available off the bench again Sunday.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available but limited Dosunmu (pelvis) will play fewer than 20 minutes in Friday's game against the Knicks, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Coach Billy Donovan noted Dosunmu will play in short stints and log less than 20 minutes following a two-game absence due to a pelvic bruise. Although he will not regain his typical role, Alex Caruso and Coby White will likely see fewer minutes.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday Dosunmu is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves due to a pelvic contusion.

Impact Dosunmu is questionable to miss his second straight game after being ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Knicks. Alex Caruso and Coby White will likely see extended minutes if his absence continues.

Won't play Wednesday Dosunmu (abdomen) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against New York, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dosunmu suffered an abdominal bruise Sunday against Atlanta and was unable to practice Tuesday. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, while Alex Caruso (back) will likely see increased playing time if he's cleared to suit up Wednesday.

Officially questionable Wednesday Dosunmu (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu didn't take part in practice Tuesday and is seemingly trending in the wrong direction, but the fact that the team didn't list him as doubtful is a good sign. Look for another update on his status to surface on game day.

Officially listed as questionable Dosunmu (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu left Sunday's loss to Atlanta due to an abdominal bruise and didn't practice Tuesday, but he still has a chance to suit up Wednesday. If he's sidelined, Alex Caruso (back) would presumably fill the second-year guard's missing minutes, as the veteran is expected to return to action following a two-game absence.

Trending toward sitting out Dosunmu (abdomen) didn't practice Tuesday and is trending toward sitting out Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Impact Dosunmu left Sunday's loss to Atlanta due to an abdominal bruise and appears likely to miss at least one additional game. However, Chicago is hoping that Alex Caruso (back) will be available Wednesday after he returned to practice Tuesday.

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.
