Bulls' DeMar DeRozan: Igniting a Chicago Renaissance

In a remarkable turn of events, the Chicago Bulls, despite missing key player Zach LaVine, are reclaiming their competitive edge, reminiscent of their 2022 postseason run. DeMar DeRozan, initially facing a production dip this season, is now surging, potentially elevating his trade value.

DeRozan, 34, showcased his scoring prowess, dropping 41 points (14-30 FG, 3-6 3P, 10-12 FT) with 11 assists. This performance secured his entry into an exclusive Bulls franchise club, a feat previously only achieved by Michael Jordan.
