Injury isn’t thought to be significant. Called it a “mild strain.” Will know more tomorrow – 6:33 PM

Bulls are 2-2 without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan this season. He’s out tonight with a left adductor strain.
Pelicans will likely be without Brandon Ingram. He’s missed the last 8 games with a strained right hamstring. – 2:52 PM

Jayson Tatum now with 19 in the first half, he’s regained the NBA scoring lead from DeMar DeRozan…Tatum, Trae Young and DeRozan will end up 1-2-3 by the end of the night. – 8:31 PM

The Bulls’ road struggles mark a sobering trend with only 10 games left in the regular season. Hear from Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan on what’s gone wrong and the importance of fixing it with plenty of opportunity ahead

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
New for @YahooSports: The Bulls are potent, but winless agaisnt the top crop of the East. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine are still confident: yhoo.it/37W8swX12:51 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
While dropping to 0-16 against the top three teams from each conference, both DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso said it’s an execution, not talent issue.
Either way, Bulls are running out of time to prove they belong.

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Billy Donovan all described the mood in the locker room after tonight’s loss with the same word: frustration.
DeMar: “At some point we gotta get tired of getting our butt kicked like this.” – 10:53 PM

Trae Young drops 45 at MSG, DeMar DeRozan with 21 in the Bulls loss at Milwaukee. So Jayson Tatum takes the floor tomorrow night, 17 points behind in the NBA scoring race. The Hawks play back-to-back at Detroit. pic.twitter.com/Z66WypuhGl10:07 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
DeMar DeRozan, the NBA’s fifth-leading free-throw shooter at 7.8 attempts per game, has yet to attempt a foul shot with less than seven minutes remaining at Milwaukee.
DeRozan hasn’t had a game this season in which he didn’t attempt a free throw. His season-low is two. – 9:54 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine are a combined 2-for-12 for the #Bulls8:46 PM
