The Bulls are trading Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips to the Timberwolves, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Thursday, just hours before the trade deadline. Minnesota will receive Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks in return.
This is just the latest move for a Chicago team that has been busy in recent days as it looks to rebuild, shipping out Kevin Huerter, Dario Saric (acquired in an earlier trade), a 2026 first-round protected swap, Nikola Vučević, Coby White, Mike Conley Jr. and Dalen Terry. In return, including the Dosunmu trade, they’ve added nine second-round picks and nine players, some of which they flipped in other trades.

In his fifth season in Chicago, Dosunmu is averaging a career-high 15 points per game, plus 3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
Dosunmu was drafted by his hometown Bulls in the second round in 2021 out of Illinois. He was named to the All-Rookie team the following season.
