Overview

  • Minnesota acquired Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips from Chicago for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four future second-round picks, with both teams confirming the trade.
  • Dosunmu arrives in peak form, averaging 15.0 points with 45.1% shooting from 3-point range while adding 3.6 assists and strong point-of-attack defense.
  • Team president Tim Connelly said the Wolves view Dosunmu as a long-term fit, and Bird rights from the trade allow Minnesota to exceed the cap to re-sign him.
  • Coach Chris Finch signaled an immediate rotation role for Dosunmu and is aiming for a debut Sunday against the Clippers after he sat out Friday.
  • Chicago continues its pivot to rebuilding with Dillingham, the 2024 No. 8 pick who saw limited minutes in Minnesota, as Dosunmu posted a public farewell to Bulls fans.
