Ruled out Thursday DeRozan (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Impact DeRozan will join Zach LaVine (foot) on the shelf for Thursday's game, but he'll likely be day-to-day going forward considering he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. Nikola Vucevic and Coby White will likely generate most of Chicago's offense Thursday, and this will be a great opportunity for Patrick Williams to step up.

Considered game-time decision DeRozan (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact DeRozan is questionable for Thursday's matchup after leaving Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to a sore ankle, and the Bulls want to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his status against Milwaukee. If he's available, DeRozan could be even more of a focal point for Chicago since Zach LaVine (foot) has been ruled out. If DeRozan sits out, Alex Caruso could see increased run for the Bulls.

Questionable for Thursday DeRozan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup versus the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact DeRozan left Tuesday's blowout loss to Boston due to a sore ankle, finishing the game with 19 points (7-14 FG), six assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes. Zach LaVine (foot) also left the contest early, and both are listed as questionable for Thursday, along with Alex Caruso (toe). With three of Chicago's key rotation pieces likely to be game-time decisions, it's difficult to project what the Bulls will look like versus Milwaukee.

His long-term future with the Bulls remains cloudy, but the veteran has played well this season and remains valuable in fantasy across all formats. He's averaging 20.4 points, 4.9 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game since the start of November.

Leading scorer in win DeRozan had 29 points (11-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and four blocks over 37 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 win over the Pistons.

Impact DeRozan didn't fill the rest of the box score, but his efficient scoring helped the Bulls get the win Sunday. He entered Sunday's game averaging 21.4 points per game -- his lowest mark since the 2020-21 season with the Spurs -- and his 43.6 percent shooting from the floor is his lowest since the 2014-15 season. Hopefully for DeRozan and the Bulls, his efficient night against the Pistons is a sign of things to come for the season.
