Dosunmu amassed 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 143-107 loss to the Heat.
Dosunmu entered this game on a strong run of scoring outputs, and he kept that streak going in a starting role with a 23-point performance -- a new season-high mark for him. Dosunmu has proven he can perform either as a starter or off the bench. However, he's likely to return to a second-unit role eventually, particularly with Coby White (calf) working his way back to a full workload.

Rotowire
Dosunmu produced 21 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-127 win over the Nuggets.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Dosunmu ended Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime loss to Utah with 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and five assists across 26 minutes.
Despite the returns of Josh Giddey and Coby White, Dosunmu maintained a steady role off the bench for Chicago. Tre Jones was out with an ankle issue, however. It's vehemently clear that Dosunmu is a big part of coach Billy Donovan's plans, and his ability to play multiple spots on the floor helps his case as well.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Minutes restriction lifted
Rotowire
Dosunmu (quadriceps) is no longer on a minutes restriction ahead of Monday's game against the Spurs, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Dosunmu missed a pair of outings to open the month of November due to a quadriceps issue, which led to a minutes limit in each of his past two appearances. Now that he's become further removed from the injury, the swingman is ready to handle a full allotment of playing time in Monday's tilt. It's a timely boost for the Bulls, who will be without top playmaker Josh Giddey (ankle).

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Available to play
Rotowire
Dosunmu (quadriceps) will be available to play Saturday against the Cavaliers, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Dosunmu will again be limited to roughly 24 minutes on the second leg of this back-to-back set, although it's worth noting that head coach Billy Donovan said that this may be the last time that Dosunmu has minutes restrictions on a back-to-back.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Dosunmu totaled 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 135-125 victory over the Knicks.
Dosunmu got back on track in the win, scoring at least 20 points for the second time in the past three games. Despite coming off the bench, it's been a relatively strong start to the season for Dosunmu, averaging 16.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per game. The eventual return of Coby White (calf) is going to complicate matters when it comes to playing time. However, for now, consider Dosunmu a viable asset, even in 12-team formats.
