Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said DeMar DeRozan will not play tonight against the Thunder.
DeRozan is coming off a 41-point performance on Sunday night against the Orlando Magic. While injuries have continued to pile up for the Bulls, DeRozan has been as consistent as they come trying to lead the team to victory.
Donovan said DeMar DeRozan is not injured; this is simply a rest night for the 32-year-old forward. On the season, he is leading the Eastern Conference guards in NBA All-Star voting and has even gathered some early MVP consideration. He averages 26.3 PPG, 5 RPG, and 4.8 RPG on 49% shooting from the field and 33% from downtown.
With Zach LaVine and Javonte Green returning tonight, fans will have to wait until Wednesday to see LaVine and DeRozan reunited on the court.
