DeMar DeRozan Unavailable Against Magic
6 months agoChicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) is away from the team and will miss Wednesday's game versus the Orlando Magic as he tends to a family matter. It marks the first absence of the season for DeRozan, who doesn't miss many games throughout the course of each year. The 34-year-old six-time All-Star has struggled shooting a bit through 11 games in the Windy City, averaging 21.2 points on 43.4% field-goal shooting, 4.5 assists, and 2.2 combined steals and blocks. Expect the efficiency to rise, but the defensive counting stats to fall as the campaign progresses, with DeRozan expected to return to the Bulls for Friday's home rematch and in-season tournament matchup with Orlando. The probable Patrick Williams (finger) could jump into head coach Billy Donovan's starting five on Wednesday, depending on Alex Caruso's (toe) availability.
