No unit has played more minutes over the last 15 games than the Chicago Bulls’ Coby White, DeMar DeRozan, Ayo Dosunmu and Nikola Vučević. Will it take its toll by season’s end?
Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu watches the action against the Mavericks from the bench in the second half at the United Center on March 11, 2024. The only real question left in the regular season for the Chicago Bulls concerns playoff seeding, and it’s not exactly a topic on anyone’s mind.
But to get to a Celtics matchup, the Bulls have to go all-out the rest of the way, even as they looked like theyThe only good part of getting behind 44-16 after 12 minutes was Donovan had an opportunity to rest his starters in the second half. The Bulls were coming off a long road trip in late time zonesThe Bulls had only one day of rest before starting a stretch of three games in four days, so they had a handy excuse to use after the loss.
“The new play-in format gives everybody seven, eight, nine, 10 a chance to get in and that’s where we are right now,” Caruso said Monday. “We’ve got games to go and we’ll see where we stand at the end of that. But just making sure guys that haven’t played in it before or maybe have one or two years of experience playing in the postseason, making sure they’re ready.”
Over the last 15 games since erasing a 22-point deficit in a thrilling overtime win over Minnesota on Feb. 7, Coby White ranks second in the league in minutes played, followed by DeRozan , Ayo Dosunmu and Nikola Vučević . Only two other teams — the Knicks and Phoenix Suns — have as many as two players among the top 14 in minutes during that span.
Dalen Terry, drafted out of Arizona with the No. 18 pick in 2023, also has yet to develop in his second year and doesn’t even seem to be in the right area code. Torrey Craig provides defense, but a right ankle sprain is among the nagging injuries that prevent him from contributing much.
