He has regularly finished in the top ten in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/nba\/\">NBA<\/a> in minutes played per game throughout his career, having been a workhorse for all three franchises that he has played for in his 15 years in the league.<\/p>\n<p>But this year was on another level, as no player logged more total minutes or played more per game than DeRozan in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<h2>DeRozan Led the NBA With 2,984 Minutes Played In 2023-24<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DeMar DeRozan played 2,984 total minutes this season, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/statmuse?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@statmuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The MOST minutes by any player in a season in the 2020s. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f92f.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd2f\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/91UvaLkPWN\">pic.twitter.com\/91UvaLkPWN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LegionHoops\/status\/1779695215114437064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He participated in 78 games for the Bulls this year, his most in a single season since 2017-18, his last with the Raptors. During those 78 contests, he played a whopping 37.7 minutes per, which ended up being the highest average in the league. His total of 2,984 minutes is the most of any player during the current decade, and the most since Bradley Beal played 3,028 minutes in 82 games during the 2018-19 NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>While it is no surprise to see DeRozan\u2019s name at the top of the NBA leaderboards when it comes to minutes and usage, one has to think about the wear and tear that so many miles can put on a 34 years old\u2019s body. He is still a productive piece for Chicago and will hold plenty of value on the trade market should the Bulls end up dangling him this summer as has been expected, but a decline in playing time is likely on the horizon, at least in some capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Bulls Hoping To Advance To Play Loser Of 76ers\/Heat Matchup<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">THE EAST PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT IS SET <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f512.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd12\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f4fa.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcfa\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> Wednesday 4\/17 | ESPN<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f37f.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf7f\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> Heat @ 76ers | 7 ET<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f37f.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf7f\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> Hawks @ Bulls | 9:30 ET <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yq63j87RC0\">pic.twitter.com\/yq63j87RC0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1779606586492666119?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Bulls will need every ounce of his production in order to keep their hopes alive in the postseason.
