It might have been a fun tribute to Bulls history. DeMar DeRozan, scheduled to return from a Covid-19 absence 7 p.m. Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, might have issued his own two-word press release instead of an afternoon Zoom session with media.
Yes, he's back!
Because what DeRozan has done for the Bulls this first third of the NBA season—no small sample anymore—has been positively Jordanesque. We often use that a bit too casually to define any great sporting moments or accomplishment. And DeRozan's fourth quarter play does qualify.
Call it the stuff of a heavyweight.
