Waived by Chicago The Bulls waived Duarte on Monday.

Plays final minute of loss Duarte took the court for the final 1:22 of Sunday's 127-119 loss to the Pistons, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist.
Impact Duarte made his first appearance for the Bulls since Jan. 15, which was also a one-minute cameo in garbage time of a loss. Following Sunday's game, the Bulls agreed to deal Zach LaVine (personal) to the Kings in a three-team trade, but with Chicago getting back Tre Jones, Zach Collins and Kevin Huerter in the trade, Duarte's path to playing time still looks to be blocked.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for Monday Duarte (personal) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Duarte will return from a four-game absence due to personal reasons Monday. However, his availability shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, as he has averaged 4.6 minutes per game across 16 regular-season appearances.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Out vs. 76ers Duarte (personal) is out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Duarte has missed the Bulls' last four games due to personal reasons, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Nuggets on Monday.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Saturday Duarte (personal) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.
Impact Duarte has missed Chicago's last three contests due to personal reasons. Even if Duarte is downgraded to out Saturday, it won't significantly impact the team's rotation.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Missing another game Duarte (personal) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Duarte will miss a third straight game while he tends to a personal matter. The 27-year-old hasn't been a mainstay in the rotation this season, so his absence will likely go largely unnoticed.
JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Monday Duarte (personal) won't play Monday against the Clippers.
Impact Duarte has just 16 appearances to his name this season for an average of 4.6 minutes.
JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Out for personal reasons Duarte is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to personal reasons, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Impact Duarte doesn't have a big role in the rotation, so his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions. His next chance to play will come in the second leg of a back-to-back set against the Clippers.
JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Season-high 14 minutes in loss Duarte recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three boards and three assists in 14 minutes of action during the 129-113 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday.
Impact The fourth-year guard played in his first game since December 23, but wasn't able to contribute much of note. Wednesday's outing marked just the fourth time this season Duarte's been able to score five or more points. His next chance to take the court will come Friday against the Wizards.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from G League The Bulls recalled Duarte from the G League on Saturday.
Impact Chicago sent Duarte down to get more game reps as he hadn't carved out a regular spot in the rotation for the Bulls this season. After playing in a pair of G League contests, he'll rejoin the NBA roster. Duarte shouldn't get much playing time when the Bulls are at or near full health.

Contributes off bench in blowout Duarte closed Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 12 minutes.
Impact Duarte tallied a double-digit minute total for the first time this season in Sunday's blowout loss, connecting on a pair of shots while ending as one of seven Bulls bench players with at least five points. Duarte posted his second-highest point total this year, having recorded at least a trio of points in four outings.
NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Traded to Chicago Duarte has been traded to the Bulls as part of the deal that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Duarte will add depth on the wings for the Bulls, though it's unclear if he'll have much of a role with the team outside of being a bench option. He made 11 starts and 59 total appearances for the Kings in 2023-24, and his averages of 3.9 points and 1.8 boards per game aren't enough to make him relevant in fantasy even if he ends up having a more significant role with the Bulls compared to the one he had in Sacramento.
JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Hits rock bottom in loss Duarte posted no counting stats over zero minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Duarte played just eight seconds in the loss, continuing his terrible season. He is well outside the top 300 for the season, often spending his entire evening sitting on the bench. Outside of some very specific streaming opportunities, Duarte can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.
MARCH 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Emerges with 18 points Wednesday Duarte ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Duarte came into Wednesday averaging just 3.6 points in February, and he had logged more DNPs (six) than games played (five). However, the third-year pro got some extra run in the blowout loss and finished as Sacramento's second leading-scorer with a season-high 18 points. It remains to be seen if the performance will lead to more playing time for Duarte moving forward, but it was at least a positive performance in what has been an overall disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old.

Drills three-pointer in light run Duarte scored three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and grabbed a rebound over eight minutes of court time in Wednesday's 102-98 win over the Nuggets.
Impact Duarte didn't play in Tuesday's 130-125 loss to Phoenix after being cleared to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain, but the swingman cracked the rotation Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. Though he was able to knock down a three-pointer on his limited time on the court, Duarte isn't a lock to be a fixture on head coach Mike Brown's second unit when the Kings return to action coming out of the All-Star break.

Game-time call for Tuesday Duarte (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact The Kings initially reported that Duarte wouldn't be re-evaluated for another 7-to-14 days from Thursday, but it appears he's recovering faster than expected. Even if he's ultimately ruled out for Tuesday's matchup, this shows that he's trending in the right direction.

Out for Friday Duarte (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Duarte rolled his ankle during Wednesday's game and will now hit the sidelines for Friday's game. He's not a large enough part of the rotation for his absence from the active roster to impact fantasy hoops, though.

Rolls ankle, ruled out Wednesday Duarte rolled his ankle during pre-game and will not play against the Pistons on Wednesday, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Duarte will be a late scratch for Wednesday's contest after rolling his ankle pregame. However, considering he's appeared in just two of Sacramento's last 11 games, his absence should have minimal impact. His next chance to play will come Friday against Denver.
