DeMar DeRozan won't play tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers, reigniting concerns about the Chicago Bulls forward's quad injury Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan will miss Friday’ s game against the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to struggle with a right qua...
Ruled out DeRozan (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact DeRozan left Wednesday's blowout loss to Philadelphia with a right quadriceps strain and will miss at least one additional contest. Per Johnson, the superstar forward was spotted at the Bulls' morning shootaround without a limp, so there's at least some optimism the issue won't cause DeRozan to miss a significant amount of time. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday during the first half of a back-to-back set in Los Angeles. In DeRozan's absence, Patrick Williams, Javonte Green (knee) and Derrick Jones are all candidates for increased roles, though Chicago will presumably rely heavily on Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic.

Questionable Friday DeRozan (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact DeRozan exited Wednesday's game against Philadelphia due to a right quadriceps strain, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's road matchup. He missed five games between January and February due to a similar issue, but the Bulls are also competing for a spot in the play-in tournament down the stretch. If he's sidelined Friday, Javonte Green (knee) and Derrick Jones could see increased run for Chicago.

Won't return Wednesday DeRozan suffered a right quad strain and will not return to Wednesday's game, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact This is the same injury that cost DeRozan five games from January-February, so for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Friday's game in Portland. The good news is that DeRozan was able to walk off the court under his own power, and perhaps the lopsided score may have played a role in his early exit, as the Bulls were down by 20-plus points and DeRozan was having a terrible game. If he needs to miss time, Ayo Dosunmu could return to the first unit and it would be Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic doing the heavy lifting on offense.

Impact The 33-year-old forward has scored more than 20 points in five straight games and eight of nine in March, averaging 27.8 points, 6.1 boards, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 threes on the month while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor and a surprising 44.4 percent (12-for-27) from long distance. With the Bulls fighting to secure a spot in the play-in tournament, DeRozan is playing some of his best ball of the season.

Game-high 33 points DeRozan closed Wednesday's 117-114 loss to Sacramento with 33 points (10-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes.
Impact DeRozan tried to will the Bulls to victory Wednesday, posting his highest-scoring total since Jan. 7, but it wasn't enough as Sacramento squeaked out a win in crunch time. The veteran forward hasn't been all that assertive offensively recently. However, he's still been an efficient scorer when he needs to be, posting 23.4 points on 52/42/77 shooting splits over his past nine appearances.

Free-throw shooting waning of late DeRozan finished Saturday's 119-111 win over the Rockets with 27 points (9-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes.
Impact DeRozan turned in a well-rounded fantasy performance that included rare contributions in the blocks and three-pointers categories, but he hasn't quite been the pillar in the free-throw percentage category that fantasy managers were likely hoping for. After the 7-for-10 showing Saturday, DeRozan is now converting at a substandard 73.2 percent rate on 6.8 attempts per game over his last six contests. He's still maintaining a respectable 86.8 percent rate from the line on the season, however, so fantasy managers can likely view his recent struggles as a minor blip on the radar.

Impact The veteran scoring machine was having trouble staying healthy prior to the All-Star break, but DeRozan hasn't missed a game since the season resumed, although he's taken something of a back seat to Zach LaVine in the Bulls' offense. Over the last six games, DeRozan's averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 boards and 1.0 steals while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor.
