It goes without saying that the Chicago Bulls have been one of the successes of the year. They’ve put together the talent around Zach LaVine that should see them through to the latter rounds of this year’s playoffs.
In Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball, they have 2 of the most stifling defenders in the NBA. And the trio of DeMar, Zach and Vucevic is perhaps the best-shooting Big 3 within the league.
Having talent on paper is one thing, however, Billy Donovan has managed to turn them into a unit that has bought into his schemes on both sides of the ball.
The Bulls have become a top-3 unit in the East so far this year with a 16-8 record. However, it seems that fate seems to want to keep testing Windy City hoops fans. 4 of their players were recently placed under Covid Protocols.
Bulls star DeMar DeRozan has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and is listed out vs. Denver. DeRozan could miss several games in protocols.

If DeMar DeRozan is confirmed to test positive for COVID-19, Chicago would be eligible to apply for a hardship exception and sign a 16th player.

NBA Twitter reacts to DeMar DeRozan retweeting LeBron James’ tweet after entering Covid protocols
The Bulls star used this opportunity to have a bit of fun of his own. A Compton-born lad, DeMar has his own dry, wry sense of humor which can come out at the best of times. Deebo retweeted a classic LeBron James tweet from 4 days ago.

This tweet has caused a stir within the public – and especially Bulls fans – across Twitter and Reddit. The hope is that DeMar turns out to be Covid-negative and is able to make a quick return.
However, not all players are lucky enough to get false positives at inopportune times. DeMar seems cut out for that fortune.
