CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The starting point guard job has become a revolving door for the Chicago Bulls as injuries continue to wrack the roster.
Only 14 games after assuming the role, rookie Ayo Dosunmu became the third point guard to be sidelined with an injury in the past month. Dosunmu was placed in concussion protocol Tuesday after a pair of head-on collisions against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday — first flying into the basket stanchion after being fouled on a dunk, then running into teammate Matt Thomas in the third quarter.
Although Dosunmu was cleared by the Bulls medical team and played Monday against the Phoenix Suns, coach Billy Donovan said the rookie began experiencing concussion symptoms Tuesday morning. Dosunmu did not make the trip to Charlotte for Wednesday night’s game against the Hornets and will remain in concussion protocol until his symptoms subside and the medical team clears him to return.
