Overview
- Fully recovered from February shoulder surgery, Dosunmu is leading the Bulls in preseason scoring at 16.7 points per game through three outings, including 22 against the Bucks.
- Donovan publicly identified Dosunmu as having the ability to become an elite defender, noting his current metrics lag his potential.
- Dosunmu enters the final year of his three-year deal and is set for unrestricted free agency next summer, putting his future alongside Coby White’s contract timeline in focus.
- Coby White will sit out the preseason with a calf issue, with Donovan expressing hope he will be ready for opening night on Oct. 22.
- A crowded perimeter group featuring Josh Giddey, Isaac Okoro, Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones leaves Dosunmu’s starter-versus-bench role unsettled despite strong early form.
