In 36 minutes on Sunday, Demar DeRozan finished with 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, and one block in the Bulls’ 118-108 victory over the Lakers.
DeRozan returned from a minor quad strain he suffered on Friday to post his third double-double in as many games.

DeRozan (quadriceps) told K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, “everything’s a go” for Sunday’s game against the Lakers.
DeRozan sat out on Friday due to a strained right quad, but he’ll be ready to go for Sunday’s game in Los Angeles, the first of a back-to-back.
UPDATE (Mar. 24):
DeRozan might not be able to play against the Trail Blazers on Friday because of a quadriceps injury.
DeRozan left Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia because he strained his right quadriceps. It’s not clear yet if he’ll be able to play on the road on Friday.
He missed five games in January and February because of the same problem, but the Bulls are still trying to get into the play-in tournament. If he can’t play on Friday, Chicago could use more of Javonte Green (knee) and Derrick Jones.
UPDATE (Mar. 23):
Demar DeRozan suffered a right quad strain and will not return to Wednesday’s game, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Now, he should be considered questionable at best for Friday’s game in Portland. The good news is that DeRozan was able to walk off the court under his own power.
