Dosunmu (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
After making his return from a 10-game absence due to a calf injury Wednesday against Atlanta, Dosunmu is good to go for the Bulls on Friday as well. The 25-year-old logged 25 minutes off Chicago's bench in his first game back against the Hawks, so it's reasonable for fantasy managers to expect Dosunmu to handle a similar amount of playing time against Charlotte as he looks to become further removed from the injury.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Scores 10 points in return
Rotowire
Dosunmu (calf) logged nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 110-94 loss to the Hawks.
Dosunmu returned from a 10-game absence due to a right soleus strain. He had played at least 30-plus minutes in each of his last 12 appearances prior to missing time with the injury, but the Bulls chose to ease him back in with a lighter workload. Dosunmu returns to a Bulls roster that is healthier at the guard and forward spots than before he had gotten hurt, so he could find it difficult to recapture a 30-plus-minute role once he's further removed from the injury.

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: Stalling in rehab
Rotowire
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.

Though the Bulls announced Saturday that Dosunmu would be re-evaluated in 10 days after suffering a right calf strain in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks, the fact that he's being listed as doubtful suggests he could be back sooner than expected.

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.

Dosunmu didn't have his best shooting performance, as he ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored, but he salvaged his outing by posting a loaded still line and at least one tally in each of the five major categories. Dosunmu has started 11 games in a row for Chicago and has posted excellent numbers, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that stretch.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: First career triple-double
Rotowire
Dosunmu closed with 27 points (9-13 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 139-124 win over San Antonio.
Making his seventh straight start in the absence of Patrick Williams (foot), Dosunmu set season highs in points, rebounds, assists and steals en route to his first career triple-double. Since moving into the starting lineup, Dosunmu has averaged 16.7 points, 5.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.1 minutes per game. During that stretch, he's shot 60.5 percent from the field, 73.7 percent from the free-throw line and 42.3 percent from deep. Given Williams' injury history, the Bulls will likely be cautious with the former lottery pick, affording Dosunmu plenty of opportunities to stay hot.
