Ayo Dosunmu Traded to Timberwolves in Major NBA Roster Overhaul
Ayo Dosunmu has been traded from the Chicago Bulls to the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of a significant roster reshuffle ahead of the NBA trade deadline. The Bulls received Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks in exchange for Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. The Timberwolves also sent Julian Phillips to Chicago. Dosunmu, a 26-year-old guard averaging 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, is known for his defense and three-point shooting (45%). The Timberwolves aimed to strengthen their bench, with Dosunmu filling a key role similar to last season’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker. To acquire Dosunmu, Minnesota traded away Dillingham, a former first-round pick, whose limited playing time was due to team acquisitions like Donte DiVincenzo. The trade reflects Minnesota’s focus on building a young, versatile frontcourt alongside players like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, while the Bulls continue a roster demolition, moving mainstays and developing a new team foundation.
