DeMar DeRozan becomes the 50th player in NBA history to score 20,000 points, but the Chicago Bulls fall to the San Antonio Spurs 129-124

With a signature midrange jumper, Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan on Friday joined an elite group of NBA players in the first quarter against the Spurs in San Antonio.

The basket marked DeRozan’s 20,000th-career point across 14 seasons. He finished with 33 points, but the Bulls lost 129-124 after overcoming a 14-point first-half deficit despite missing All-Star Zach LaVine.

The performance still placed DeRozan among only 49 other players who have reached the milestone, including Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James.
