Thu Mar 1409:52DeMar DeRozan Racks Up 46 Points Versus Indiana
Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan had a memorable night against Indiana on Wednesday. He produced one of the highest-scoring games of his career with a 46-point effort and helped the team to a 132-129 overtime victory. DeRozan's jump shot with 0.1 seconds remaining on the clock took the game past regulation, and the veteran star scored nine of Chicago's 15 points in the extra frame. He finished with 15-for-24 shooting from the field and made 15 of his 17 attempts at the free-throw line. DeRozan was only one rebound short of a double-double and collected three assists, two steals, and one block. The six-time All-Star has scored more points in a regular-season game just four times during his 15-year NBA career. Age hasn't yet fully caught up with DeRozan, as he's averaging 23.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.1 steals for the season.

Sat Dec 2 202319:43DeMar DeRozan Good To Go Versus The Pels
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) is available for Saturday's showdown with the Pelicans. The veteran was battling a sprained ankle, keeping him off the floor for Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's good to go. With Zach LaVine (foot) out, DeRozan will likely see more scoring chances, giving him added value for DFS contests. Of course, he's always a must-start in season-long fantasy setups.

Fri Dec 1 202316:01DeMar DeRozan Uncertain To Play Against Pelicans On Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) was able to do a little more at practice on Friday than he did on Saturday and head coach Billy Donovan said that he'll likely be listed as questionable for Saturday's game. DeRozan's ankle issue isn't as serious as Zach LaVine's foot injury, so there is an outside chance that DeRozan plays, but it doesn't seem like a high probability. While he's out, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will get added usage while Alex Caruso would be in the starting five.

Thu Nov 30 202309:48DeMar DeRozan Considered Questionable Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee. The veteran left Tuesday's meeting with Boston early due to a left ankle sprain, and DeRozan could now be unavailable for the second time this season. He was also out versus Orlando on Nov. 15. DeRozan's absence would open up a lot of shots for the rest of the squad, while Torrey Craig might get an opportunity to rejoin the starting unit. The Bulls have struggled badly, but this should be a fun game, as Milwaukee has even posted a slightly worse defensive efficiency. It's also a pace-up spot for Chicago.

Thu Nov 16 202318:45DeMar DeRozan Up In The Air For Friday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) is questionable for Friday's In-Season Tournament game against the Orlando Magic. DeRozan was away from the Bulls for Wednesday's game due to a family matter, but Chris Haynes of Turner Sports has previously reported that Chicago's star is expected back for Friday's action. DeRozan is still absent from the team, per head coach Billy Donovan. The 34-year-old shot-creator is averaging 21.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.2 combined steals and blocks during 34.9 minutes across 11 games in 2023-24. The Bulls scored a season-low 94 points in Wednesday's two-point loss to the Magic without DeRozan. Patrick Williams played a season-high 32 minutes in that one, while Alex Caruso (toe) recorded 16 points in 24 minutes off the bench in a return from a left toe strain.

Wed Nov 15 202315:06DeMar DeRozan Unavailable Against Magic
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) is away from the team and will miss Wednesday's game versus the Orlando Magic as he tends to a family matter. It marks the first absence of the season for DeRozan, who doesn't miss many games throughout the course of each year. The 34-year-old six-time All-Star has struggled shooting a bit through 11 games in the Windy City, averaging 21.2 points on 43.4% field-goal shooting, 4.5 assists, and 2.2 combined steals and blocks. Expect the efficiency to rise, but the defensive counting stats to fall as the campaign progresses, with DeRozan expected to return to the Bulls for Friday's home rematch and in-season tournament matchup with Orlando. The probable Patrick Williams (finger) could jump into head coach Billy Donovan's starting five on Wednesday, depending on Alex Caruso's (toe) availability.

Sat Nov 4 202320:36Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan Will Play Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) and forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) are both available for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is good news as the Bulls will have both their superstar players ready for this tough matchup. LaVine has been battling back spasms, but appears to be fine to play. The expectation is that both LaVine and DeRozan will resume their normal roles in the rotation. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure these two are in there.

Fri Oct 20 202310:24DeMar DeRozan Could Be Trade Candidate This Season
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan is entering the last year of his contract and there hasn't been any word on an extension just yet. Brian Windhorst of ESPN reported if the Bulls and DeRozan don't agree on an extension soon, then he will be one to monitor as a trade target for a lot of teams around the league. One team that Windhorst mentioned was the Los Angeles Clippers if they can't end up getting a deal done with the 76ers for James Harden. DeRozan turned 34 years old this season and he hasn't shown signs of slowing down as he was an All-Star selection in both of the last two years.

Sat Sep 23 202308:06DeMar DeRozan Ready To Shoot More Threes
Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan is ready to add another element to his game, announcing he will be taking more three-point shots in the new season."Next year it'll be more frequent threes from me without a doubt," DeRozan told Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic. "Just because I've always had this vision in my career as I got older, I want to be able to just continue to expand my game. And that's a main priority and a point of focus for me to just capitalize on as I get older." DeRozan is among the top 40 scorers in NBA history, but he has averaged only 1.5 three-point attempts for his career. He has gotten close to two attempts per game in the past couple of seasons, and it looks like the 34-year-old is now ready to fully embrace outside shooting. If he can do it efficiently, then we should see DeRozan's scoring numbers get a nice bump. He hit 32.4 percent of his three-point shots last term.

Wed Aug 23 202309:22Bulls Desperate To Extend DeMar DeRozan
Chicago Bulls general manager Marc Eversley hopes to work out an extension with star forward DeMar DeRozan, who is entering the final year of his contract. "I would love DeMar to be part of this program long term. Let's see how that plays out and what that looks like going forward," Eversley told Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic. "When those conversations take place, we'll speak about that more when that happens. But we hope Deebo's back. He's been an integral part of this program's success. We hope he is here long term." DeRozan has spent the last two seasons with the Bulls, averaging 26.2 points with 4.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists. At 34, the six-time All-Star has entered the twilight of his career, but Eversley's eagerness to keep him in Chicago on a long-term deal shows that the team believes that DeRozan can still be an effective player for years to come.

Sat Jun 24 202323:20Bulls Had Trade Talks About DeMar DeRozan
According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls had trade talks with several teams surrounding forward DeMar DeRozan. However, nothing materialized. The 33-year-old, who is set to hit free agency next summer, averaged 24.5 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in 74 games last season. With Lonzo Ball (knee) expected to miss all of next season, the Bulls may ultimately decide to push the reset button. If that's the case, DeRozan will be an attractive asset for many clubs, considering he's on an expiring contract. At any rate, he's projected to be a top fantasy producer for at least a few more years no matter where he plays in 2023-24.

Mon May 15 202311:57DeMar DeRozan Could Reportedly Be Shopped By The Bulls
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan could be shopped around in the offseason, writes NBA insider Sean Deveney. The veteran star has one year left on his contract and the team might want to reshape its roster following a pair of very disappointing seasons. Chicago has won just one playoff game in two years with DeRozan and Zach LaVine leading the team. Deveney suggests that DeRozan might be involved in a deal to get Deandre Ayton from Phoenix, with the Bulls not ready to commit long-term to their current starting center and pending unrestricted free agent Nikola Vucevic.

Sat Apr 15 202307:15DeMar DeRozan Drops Team-High 26 Points As Chicago's Season Ends
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan led the team with 26 points in Friday's 102-91 loss in the play-in tournament against Miami. He also had nine assists with four rebounds and one steal, but Zach LaVine was limited to only 15 points and the Heat pulled themselves clear in the fourth quarter, winning the frame 35-23. DeRozan finished his second season in Chi-Town averaging 24.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.1 steals. The six-time All-Star turns 34 before the next season starts and players respond differently to aging, but DeRozan has become a very good all-around player during the latter stages of his career and should still remain an impactful fantasy player, even when he eventually won't be a 20-point scorer anymore.

Thu Apr 13 202310:32DeMar DeRozan Eliminates His Former Team
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan took down the team that he spent nine seasons with on Wednesday night as they set their sights toward the eighth seed in the NBA Playoffs. The veteran wing ended the game with 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two blocks while shooting 10-for-19 from the floor. He provided exactly what everyone expected and kept the team level-headed when they were down big early on. The comeback that he and Zach LaVine led was like no other and DeRozan will probably have an even bigger role against Miami in their next contest.

The veteran star hit a pair of decisive triples early in the fourth quarter and finished with 7-for-13 shooting overall. After sitting out one game with a right quadriceps strain, DeRozan logged 36 minutes of action and capped off his line with six rebounds and one block. The Bulls have another game scheduled for Monday versus the Clippers, and it's going to be interesting to see how they approach things regarding DeRozan's workload. He's been troubled by the quadriceps injury for quite some time.

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward is still dealing with an injury after exiting Wednesday's game due to a quad strain. It appears he'll miss at least one game because of this injury, but hopefully he'll be back soon. The Bulls could be shorthanded for this game with Alex Caruso (foot) listed as questionable. That means, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White could be asked to play big roles during Friday's game.

Wed Mar 22 202321:58DeMar DeRozan Won't Return On Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan was really struggling in this game. He was 0-for-7 from the floor before exiting the game, so possibly the quad issue was part of the reason he was struggling. The Bulls were getting blown out anyway, so it's not surprising to see them being cautious with their star forward. Derrick Jones Jr. will see additional playing time with DeRozan done for the night. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on DeRozan's status.

The career-high for DeRozan stands at 52 points, so the 33-year-old was very close to his best-ever offensive outing.

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (hip) has been removed from the injury report after he was a full participant in practice on Thursday, which included scrimmages and higher-intensity work.
