In Yoruba, the language native to Nigeria, his name is defined as ‘‘joy.’’
And from the early returns — the looks he has provided us with upon his return from missing the final two months of last season because of his first-ever surgery-required fractured left shoulder — the joy of hoopin’ has returned to Ayo Dosunmu in a way many haven’t seen at this level since he came on the scene at Westinghouse.
If nothing else, it has become evident for the Bulls — equal to the continued promise of Matas Buzelis and the confirmation of Josh Giddey — that the joy with which Dosunmu has played so far can be their panacea.
