The Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan won’t travel with the team to Indianapolis for Wednesday’s game.

There’s never a good time for a team to be bitten by the injury bug, but now is a particularly bad time for the Bulls.

Coach Billy Donovan’s team is a half-game behind the Wizards for 10th place in the Eastern Conference and the last spot in the play-in tournament. Now they face a back-to-back with forward DeMar DeRozan out for at least the first of those games.

An MRI exam Tuesday revealed DeRozan has a Grade 1 thigh strain.
