Impact With Alex Caruso (concussion) sidelined, Dosunmu will take his place as the Bulls' starting point guard for Game 5.

Starts second half of Game 4 Dosunmu started the second half of Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Alex Caruso was hit in the fact during the final minutes of the first half, but it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench during the second half. Dosunmu has averaged just 1.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 11.3 minutes during the first three games of the series.

Plays 45 minutes in finale Dosunmu totaled 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 45 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Dosunmu came off the bench in Friday's loss to the Hornets, but he started and played a career-high 45 minutes Sunday since the Bulls rested several key contributors during the regular-season finale. He had averaged 8.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 28.6 minutes per game in his nine appearances leading up to Sunday's matchup, and he figures to see closer to his usual allotment of work once the playoffs begin next weekend.

Will start Sunday Dosunmu will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact With Chicago's big three all resting, plus Coby White (toe) and Alex Caruso (back) sidelined, Dosunmu will get the nod at point guard and could end up functioning as the No. 1 offensive option. He'll start alongside Troy Brown, Javonte Green, Patrick Williams and Tristan Thompson.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Dosunmu isn't starting Friday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Dosunmu had started in each of his last eight appearances, and he averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 28.6 minutes per game during that time. However, he'll come off the bench while Coby White serves as the starting point guard Friday.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive in loss Monday Dosunmu supplied 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 109-104 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu continues to trend in the wrong direction despite still logging significant minutes. He has now failed to score more than 15 points in eight straight games, collecting a total of two steals over that same period. His assist numbers remain serviceable, but when he is offering basically nothing else, managers are likely going to be better served by scouring the waiver wire for a player with more upside.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Dosunmu will start in Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact With DeMar DeRozan ruled out with a hip injury, Dosunmu will pick up the start in relief. The rookie has made 31 starts on the season and is averaging 11.1 points, 5.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals as a starter.

Alex Caruso's move into the Chicago Bulls lineup for an end-of-season push changes roles for rookie Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu is taking on a new role as the leader of the bench unit after Alex Caruso's move into the Chicago Bulls starting lineup.

MARCH 24, 2022 • CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM

Lands bench role Monday Dosunmu finished Monday's 113-99 victory over the Raptors with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 24 minutes.

Impact Dosunmu moved back to the bench Monday, ceding his starting spot to Alex Caruso. It's been a nice run of 12-team value for the rookie, something that could come to an end should his playing time fall to fewer than 25 minutes per night. With that being said, managers holding Dosunmu might want to wait to see how things play out over the next game or two before making any moves.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to remain in bench role Dosunmu will be utilized as Chicago's backup point guard moving forward, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Alex Caruso was moved into the starting lineup for Monday's game against Toronto, and after the game, head coach Billy Donovan stated that this is likely a long-term decision. He also noted that the move had nothing to do with Dosunmu's recent performance, stating the rookie guard has been "incredible," per Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago. Dosunmu still managed to log 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's victory and figures to see plenty of opportunities to develop as the regular season winds down.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Flops in rout Dosunmu accumulated four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Dosonmu continues to start at the two-guard spot alongside Zach LaVine, and while that's led to a mini-breakout in Year 1, Dosunmu's production has been a bit shaky over the last few games. He did finish with 15 points and six assists against Utah on Wednesday, but prior to that he had just six points on 3-of-9 shooting, to go with two assists and two rebounds, in the Bulls' loss to Sacramento on Monday.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good production across the board Dosunmu notched 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 101-91 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Dosunmu did a little bit of everything in the win as he continues to post solid numbers amid Chicago's backcourt absences. Although Alex Caruso returned to action, Dosunmu still held down the fort as Lonzo Ball's (knee) direct pivot. As Caruso gets back into playing mode, both Dosunmu and Coby White could be negatively affected.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Dosunmu (hip) is available Saturday against the Cavaliers.

Impact As expected, Dosunmu will play through a strained right hip. However, his workload could be reduced soon, as Alex Caruso (wrist) is making his return Saturday.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Saturday Dosunmu is probable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a strained left adductor.

Impact Dosunmu has appeared in 11 straight games with averages of 11.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 35.6 minutes. He'll presumably play Saturday, but his workload moving forward could take a hit with Alex Caruso (wrist) on the verge of a return.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in assists Dosunmu contributed nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and three steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 114-108 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Dosunmu was the Bulls' primary distributor on Wednesday, as DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic handled scoring responsibilities, with each of them posting 20-plus points. The rookie also led the team in plus-minus on Wednesday (plus-14), and he's handled the team's starting point guard duties well, as Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist) work their way back from injuries. Dosunmu will look to have another positive impact when the Bulls host Cleveland on Saturday.

Is Ayo Dosunmu hitting the rookie wall? 'I'm prepared to take care of my body,' the Chicago Bulls guard says. Despite Ayo Dosunmu's challenge of becoming a starting point guard, the Chicago Bulls aren’t worried about him hitting the rookie wall.

MARCH 4, 2022 • CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM

Solid effort despite loss Dosunmu posted 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to Miami.

Impact Dosunmu has settled himself as a starter with Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist) sidelined, and he continues to make an impact for Chicago despite not having a prominent role on offense. The former Illinois standout is averaging 11.6 points, 6.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game since joining the starting lineup, and he has scored in double digits in six of his last seven contests.
