He also finished third on the team in rebounds and led all players in assists, dishing out six or more dimes for the third game in a row.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Traded to Minnesota
Rotowire
The Bulls are trading Dosunmu (quadriceps) and Julian Phillips (wrist) to the Timberwolves on Thursday in exchange for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Timberwolves have been trying to upgrade their guard position after trading Nickeil Alexander-Walker last offseason, and the Bulls had a surplus of guard talent after acquiring Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton over the past couple of days. Dosunmu could be the primary backcourt backup in Minnesota, operating behind Donte DiVincenzo, Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. Dosunmu can be considered questionable to make his team debut Friday against the Pelicans.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Quiet in loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Dosunmu ended with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to Houston.
Dosunmu cooled off in the loss, scoring just seven points after tallying double digits in the previous eight games. Despite this performance, Dosunmu remains a viable 12-team asset, at least until Josh Giddey returns from his hamstring injury.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Shines off bench in win
Rotowire
Dosunmu delivered 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 26 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 125-107 win over the Mavericks.
Dosunmu was remarkably efficient in this game, missing just two shots from the floor and ending just two assists shy of a double-double. Dosunmu isn't expected to move into the starting lineup with Coby White and Tre Jones as the top options in the backcourt without Josh Giddey (hamstring), but that won't matter much as long as Dosunmu continues to look this comfortable off the bench. This was Dosunmu's eighth game with at least 20 points this season.
