DeMar DeRozan, currently playing for the Sacramento Kings, made a triumphant return to Chicago, where he received a standing ovation and video tribute during a game against his former team, the Chicago Bulls. This emotional moment followed DeRozan's three-season stint with the Bulls before joining the Kings in the offseason.

After the game, DeRozan expressed gratitude for the warm reception, emphasizing how much appreciation from fans means to him. During his time in Chicago, he averaged 25.5 points per game, solidifying his status as a key player. Although he scored 21 points in this game against his former team, including a strong second-half performance, the Bulls were unable to capitalize on his signing, as they missed the playoffs in two of his three seasons with them.
