The Bulls are trading up-and-coming guard Ayo Dosunmu to the Timberwolves, according to a report from [ESPN's Shams Charania](https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/2019424844719484971).
Chicago is sending wing Julian Phillips to Minnesota in addition to Dosunmu. In exchange, Minnesota is sending the Bulls Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks.
Minnesota has been desperately seeking backcourt help to replace Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who left in free agency last offseason.
The 26-year-old Dosunmu has enjoyed the best season of his five-year NBA career. He is averaging a career-high 15.0 points per game to go along with 3.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds on 51.4% shooting overall and 45.1% shooting from three.
Dosunmu should have an instant impact on Minnesota's rotation, slotting in with Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Donte DiVincenzo.
Minnesota is 32-20 on the season and in fifth-place in the Western Conference.
