Injuries have continued to pile up for the Chicago Bulls, with Ayo Dosunmu among the latest affected. According to K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network, Dosunmu revealed Tuesday that he sprained both thumbs and is dealing with a bone bruise on his right thumb. He has been taping both hands, with the left thumb causing him the most trouble.

Even so, Dosunmu remains hopeful he can recover in time for the Bulls’ home matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He has missed the last two games because of the thumb injuries. Chicago enters the game at 10-14 and is coming off a 114-104 loss to the struggling New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

Through 20 games this season, Dosunmu is averaging 15.2 points while logging 27.8 minutes per night. Last year, he finished with averages of 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

A shoulder injury that required surgery ended Dosunmu’s season early. The Bulls drafted him in 2021 out of the University of Illinois at Champaign Urbana, and he has spent his entire NBA career in Chicago. A hometown product, Dosunmu continues to represent the city he grew up in while carving out his role with the franchise.

For a team built around a motion-based offense, Dosunmu raises the tempo with his aggressive style. He consistently puts pressure on the rim, welcomes contact, and earns trips to the free-throw line. On the other end, he routinely takes on larger assignments and holds his ground defensively. His versatility adds to his value, as he can slide into the starting lineup when needed or provide steady production off the bench.

The Bulls currently sit 11th in the Eastern Conference at 10-15, narrowly trailing the 10th-place Bucks, who are just a game ahead at 11-16. Getting Dosunmu back on the floor could provide a boost on the perimeter, an area where Chicago has struggled, and that improvement on defense may play a role in helping the Bulls close the gap on Milwaukee in the standings.
