Ayo Dosunmu will likely have a new NBA home next season. According to Jason and Dan Bernstein of the Organizations Win Championships podcast, Dosunmu is unlikely to be back with the Chicago Bulls next season. Dosunmu is a restricted free agent and he could land with the Toronto Raptors.
As a restricted free agent, Dosunmu can sign an offer sheet with another team and then the Bulls would have 48 hours to match the offer sheet. The Raptors lost Fred VanVleet to the Houston Rockets in free agency. Although they signed Dennis Schroder, Toronto could sign another guard for depth purposes.
Dosunmu appeared in 80 games for the Bulls last season. He averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 49.3% from the field, 31.2% from beyond the arc and 80.5% from the free-throw line.

The Bulls drafted Dosunmu with the 38th overall pick in the 2021 draft out of Illinois. The Chicago native has career averages of 8.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 157 games with his hometown club. It will be interesting to see where Dosunmu is playing next season assuming the Bulls don’t bring him back. The 23-year-old made the 2021-22 All-Rookie team.
Chicago re-signed Coby White and Nikola Vucevic and signed Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig this summer. The Bulls missed the playoffs last season after making it in 2022. The team lost the 8-9 play-in game to the Miami Heat after beating the Raptors in the 9-10 play-in game.
