DeMar DeRozan is playing more minutes than any other NBA player his age. How can the Chicago Bull sustain this workload?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:02 GMT

DeMar DeRozan isn’t always honest with Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan.Donovan knows it. He values his communication with the veteran star. But in the heat of a game, Donovan knows DeRozan is never going to tell the whole truth if he’s tired.“That’s just the competitor in me,” DeRozan said. “But at the same time, if there’s something I feel like I can’t do or it would take away from the team, I wouldn’t have a problem saying it. But if I’m out there, I’m out there to give whatever is asked from me, however long they need me out there.”DeRozan hates to come out of a game. Hates to sit on a sideline even more. If the clock is running, he wants to be on the court. And that’s why he’s played more minutes this season than any player in the NBA besides teammate Coby White.DeRozan has logged 1,136 this season across 31 games — and he’s doing this at age 34 in his 15th season in the NBA.
