Ayo Dosunmu brings his Illinois number to the Bulls – NBC Sports Chicago

Ayo Dosunmu changes his jersey number with the Bulls.

He’ll be bringing his old number 11 from his Illinois days to the Bulls, leaving behind number 12. Dosunmu confirmed the jersey speculation on social media last Thursday with the caption: “Long live the jet fighter.”

The jersey was last owned by DeMar DeRozan, whom the Bulls sent to the Kings in a sign-and-trade. Ironically, DeRozan was kind enough to attend Dosunmu’s jersey retirement ceremony with Illinois, when the Illini retired Dosunmu’s No. 11.

Now he will wear the same number he wore in college and from his NBA mentor.
