Will undergo season-ending surgery The Bulls announced Sunday that Dosunmu will undergo season-ending surgery due to left shoulder instability.

Impact Dosunmu previously missed three outings due to a left shoulder subluxation, though he was able to play in the club's last contest during Friday's win over the Raptors, during which he posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes. However, the club will shut him down for the season after further evaluation from medical professionals and training staff revealed shoulder instability. The 25-year-old will end the season averaging a career-high 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 30.3 minutes per game in 46 regular-season appearances. Kevin Huerter, Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips are candidates for a bump in minutes with Dosunmu on the shelf.

Won't play Sunday Dosunmu is out for Sunday's game versus the Pacers due to a left shoulder subluxation.

Impact Dosunmu returned to action Friday after missing Chicago's previous three contests due to his shoulder injury. However, the 24-year-old guard's absence against Indiana should open up more minutes for Kevin Huerter (knee) and Jevon Carter. Dosunmu's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Cleveland.

Solid numbers in return Dosunmu (shoulder) registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 125-115 win over the Raptors.

Impact Sidelined for the previous three games with a left shoulder subluxation, Dosunmu returned to action in a bench role, after he had started in nine of his prior 10 appearances. The Bulls were without Nikola Vucevic (calf) and Patrick Williams (quadricep) on Friday, but with the team at full strength in the backcourt, it's unclear if Dosunmu will have an opportunity to see a dramatic increase in playing time in future contests. If his minutes remain in 20-to-25 range, Dosunmu will likely be more of a 14-team league option rather than a player who needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Suiting up Friday Dosunmu (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Dosunmu will return to the hardwood after a three-game absence due to shoulder soreness. He's alternated between the starting lineup and the bench in recent weeks, starting in nine of his 15 appearances since the beginning of January. He's averaging 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game in that span.

Questionable for Friday Dosunmu (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Dosunmu injured his shoulder in last Thursday's overtime loss to the Knicks, and he's in danger of missing a fourth game in a row Friday. If the 25-year-old swingman cannot give it a go against Toronto, the Bulls would likely divvy up his vacated minutes among Lonzo Ball, Kevin Huerter and Matas Buzelis.

FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Dosunmu (shoulder) is out in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact It'll be a third straight absence with a shoulder injury for Dosunmu, who carries no clear timeline for a return while dealing with soreness. His next chance to play comes Friday against Toronto. In Dosunmu's absence against Los Angeles, Lonzo Ball and Matas Buzelis are candidates to see more playing time.

FEBRUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed questionable for Wednesday Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Dosunmu injured his left shoulder in Thursday's overtime loss to the Knicks and was held out Saturday against the Suns with what was described as instability in his shoulder. However, the questionable tag suggests that the Bulls view him as day-to-day going forward. If Dosunmu misses additional time, guys like Kevin Huerter, Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis could see increased run with Patrick Williams (quadriceps) sidelined at the moment.

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lacks return timeline Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said prior to Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Suns that Dosunmu (shoulder) is "pretty sore" and is without a timeline for a return, Cody Westerlund of...

Impact Dosunmu injured his left shoulder in Thursday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks, prompting the Bulls to rule him out for Saturday's contest. With Donovan noting that Dosunmu has "instability in his shoulder that he has to stay on top of," the fourth-year guard seems destined to sit out Monday's game in Philadelphia before the Bulls re-evaluate him upon returning to Chicago. While Dosunmu was sidelined Saturday along with Patrick Williams (quadricep) -- who is expected to miss at least two weeks -- Kevin Huerter (30 minutes) and Julian Phillips (24 minutes) saw the most notable boosts in playing time.

Not playing Saturday Dosunmu (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Suns, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dosunmu injured his left shoulder during the Bulls' overtime loss to the Knicks on Thursday, and the injury was severe enough that he wasn't able lift his arm up following the game, per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. Kevin Huerter, Julian Phillips and Dalen Terry are the top candidates to see an uptick in playing time Saturday due to Dosunmu's injury. Dosunmu's next chance to suit up will be Monday against the 76ers, though head coach Billy Donovan relayed that there is instability in the fourth-year guard's shoulder and there doesn't appear to be a timeline for a return, per Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com.

FEBRUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing left shoulder injury Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

Impact Dosunmu scored just five points on 25.0 percent shooting during Thursday's overtime loss to the Knicks, and it appears he came out of that contest worse for wear with a sore left shoulder. Dalen Terry, Kevin Huerter and Julian Phillips would be candidates to see a heavier workload off the bench should Dosumu be ruled out for Saturday's contest.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes in loss Dosunmu notched five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu failed to get much of anything going as a member of the second unit following nine consecutive starts. The 25-year-old scored fewer than six points for the first time since Dec. 23, and he has also struggled from beyond the arc of late. Over his last five outings, Dosunmu has shot only 19.0 percent from downtown.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifting to bench role Dosunmu isn't starting Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Dosunmu will move to a bench role after starting Chicago's previous nine appearances. He's averaging 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his last five appearances as a reserve, which took place between Jan. 15 to Jan. 25.

Impact Dosunmu will be available to play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons after battling an illness. The 24-year-old has started the last seven games for the Bulls, averaging 13.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 50.7 percent from the floor and 42.4 percent from deep.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Tuesday Dosunmu (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Although the Bulls sent Dosunmu home from Monday's practice due to an illness, the guard is likely to be available Tuesday. Over his last nine games (seven starts), Dosunmu has averaged 12.4 points, 4.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.0 threes in 31.0 minutes while shooting 42.9 percent from deep.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Dosunmu was sent home from Monday's practice due to an illness, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dosunmu's status for Tuesday's game against the Pistons is in the air, but there should be some clarity when the Bulls release their injury report Monday evening. Lonzo Ball (illness) will likely be held out Tuesday, so the Bulls may need Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones to soak up some backcourt minutes.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Just misses double-double Tuesday Dosunmu provided 21 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 133-124 win over the Heat.

Impact Making his fifth straight start, the 2021 second-round pick led the Bulls in assists and nearly came away with his second double-double of the season. Dosunmu has been making an impact in Chicago's small-ball lineup, averaging 14.0 points, 5.6 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.4 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks during his latest stint in the starting five, but with rookie forward Matas Buzelis beginning to catch fire and Nikola Vucevic on the trade block, the Bulls' frontcourt could look very different by the weekend.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starters Monday Dosunmu will start Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Dosunmu will make his first start since Dec. 23 after being eased back into Chicago's rotation lately following an absence with a calf strain.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to face Philly Dosunmu is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers,K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Dosunmu was initially listed as questionable with a calf problem following his 23-point performance in Thursday's loss to the Warriors, but the former Illinois star will give it a go Saturday. He hasn't started a game since Dec. 23, however, so his fantasy upside will remain somewhat limited if he continues to play with the second unit.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Dosunmu (calf) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Impact After finishing with 23 points, two rebounds and two assists in Thursday's loss to the Warriors, Dosunmu's status for Saturday's game against Philadelphia remains uncertain. The 24-year-old is having a solid year for the Bulls, averaging 12.4 points and career-high numbers in rebounds (3.8) and assists (4.6), shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 32.4 percent from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to available Dosunmu (calf) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Dosunmu was initially questionable to play Thursday against the Warriors on the road, but that has changed. This is a step in the right direction for Chicago against a Golden State squad dealing with several injuries.
