Good to go for second half DeRozan (quadriceps) confirmed after Sunday's All-Star Game that he'll be 100 percent when the Bulls open their second-half schedule Friday versus the Nets, Julia Poe of the Chicag...

Impact A right quad strain kept DeRozan sidelined for the Bulls' final two games before the break, but the 33-year-old relayed that he received the green light to play in Sunday's All-Star Game after spending the past five days leading up to the exhibition resting, stretching and receiving treatment. He proceeded to play 16 minutes for Team Giannis in a 184-175 win over Team LeBron, finishing with eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds and five assists while largely focusing on facilitating rather than attacking the rim. DeRozan is expected to do only light basketball activities over the next couple days before heading back to Chicago, but he confirmed that he hopes to play in each of 26-33 Bulls' final 23 contests while he hopes to halt the team's six-game losing streak and lead the team to a spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. Chicago kicks off its second-half schedule Friday versus Brooklyn.

Suits up in All-Star Game DeRozan (quadriceps) finished Sunday's All-Star Game with eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds and five assists in 16 minutes.

Impact DeRozan missed the Bulls' final two games before the break due to a right quad strain, but the fact that he was able to handle a normal workload in an exhibition game is a positive indicator for his status coming out of the break. The veteran should continue to be considered day-to-day until the Bulls issue an updated injury report, but at this juncture he appears on track to be available for Friday's game against the Nets.

Selected by Team Giannis in ASG DeRozan (quad) was selected by Team Giannis ahead of Sunday night's All-Star Game.

Impact A quad injury kept DeRozan out of the final two games before the break, and while we're yet to get any official confirmation that the veteran will play Sunday, all indications are that he'll technically be available. Given the situation, it's quite possible that DeRozan's workload is carefully monitored, so don't be surprised if he doesn't see big minutes in the All-Star Game.

Likely playing in All-Star Game Derozan (quadriceps) is expected to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact DeRozan has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Bucks due to a right quadriceps strain. With the 33-year-old forward expected to suit up Sunday, he should also be available for Chicago's next game on Feb. 24 against Brooklyn.

Unavailable Thursday DeRozan (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Impact DeRozan was unavailable for Wednesday's loss to the Pacers due to a Grade 1 right quad strain, but head coach Billy Donovan had hoped the 33-year-old would be available for Thursday's matchup, Chicago's final game before the All-Star break. However, DeRozan will remain out for a second consecutive matchup, giving him over a week to rest before the Bulls return to action Feb. 24 versus Brooklyn. The Bulls don't think DeRozan's injury is particularly serious, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him return immediately after the All-Star break.

Impact After Donovan announced that DeRozan underwent an MRI following Monday's loss to the Magic that revealed a Grade 1 thigh strain, the coach ruled out the forward for the front end of the back-to-back set. The Bulls aren't yet ready to shut DeRozan down through the All-Star break, however, as the team will wait and see how the 33-year-old responds to two days of rest before reassessing his status ahead of Thursday's contest. With DeRozan out for at least one game and Derrick Jones (adductor) also doubtful for Wednesday's contest, the Bulls could turn to more guard-heavy lineups against the Pacers featuring Zach LaVine as the team's small forward.

Impact DeRozan left Monday's loss to Orlando in the third quarter after aggravating a hip injury that he's been playing through for the last month. However, he received positive test results Tuesday morning that showed a minor strain in his thigh. While the issue isn't expected to be serious, DeRozan will likely still miss at least one game. Donovan didn't rule the forward out for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee, but it would make sense for Chicago to keep the veteran sidelined to give him extra rest heading into the All-Star break.
