Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Listed as questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Dosunmu (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Dosunmu appears to be on the precipice of returning to Chicago's lineup after suffering a right calf strain in late December. If the 24-year-old doesn't suit up Tuesday, fantasy managers can have an eye on him returning during the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back Wednesday against the Hawks. There hasn't been a direct beneficiary of Dosunmu's absence, but Josh Giddey and Zach LaVine could be required to handle the lion's share of the ball-handling duties if both Dosunmu and Coby White (neck) are sidelined against New Orleans.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Ramping up on-court activity
Rotowire
The Bulls are optimistic that Dosunmu (calf), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against Washington, will be able to return during the club's upcoming five-game homestand that runs through next Friday, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
Dosunmu is ramping up his on-court activity and is expected to return sometime next week, though he should be considered doubtful at best for Sunday's game against the Kings. On another positive note, the 24-year-old has been cleared to resume on-court activity after he recently experienced no discomfort while sprinting on the treadmill, per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. He'll likely still need to take part in live 5-on-5 scrimmaging before the Bulls pinpoint a date for his return to action while he works his way back from a right soleus strain.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Ready to begin ramping up
Rotowire
Head coach Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Dosunmu (calf) is ready to begin ramping up his activity, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Dosunmu has been recovering from a right calf strain since Dec. 26. While it's encouraging to hear he's ready to increase his activity during his rehab, there remains no clear timetable for his return to game action. Dosunmu will also be on a minutes restriction once he's able to play. Until the 24-year-old is ready to get back on the floor, Josh Giddey, Coby White and Zach LaVine should continue dominating playmaking responsibilities for the Bulls.

Head coach Billy Donovan said Monday that Dosnumu (calf) is expected to need at least one more week of rehab before progressing to sprinting, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
Dosunmu is working through a right calf strain, which has forced him to be sidelined since Dec. 26. He's managed to participate in lighter on-court work but hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to take on more intense activities.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Productive outing in victory
Rotowire
Dosunmu chipped in 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 win over Boston.
It was a productive outing for Dosunmu, who hit double figures in scoring for the 10th consecutive game. Across that span, Dosunmu is averaging 16.2 points, 5.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes per game. As long as Dosunmu remains a member of Chicago's starting lineup, which he's done for the last 12 contests, the 25-year-old wing's production should continue to benefit from a fantasy perspective with the more consistent playing time.
