Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan has been in the NBA's health and safety protocols for about a week after testing positive for the virus. The NBA requires players like DeRozan, who have tested positive, to remain in the protocols for at least 10 days. With the 10-day mark approaching, the Bulls star teased his return from COVID-19 with a cryptic social media post.

There are multiple meanings to this post. DeMar DeRozan is almost back, DeRozan is charged up about playing soon- or DeRozan's phone is almost charged, and he wanted Bulls fans to know about it.

In all seriousness, whatever interpretation fans take it as, the overall meaning is the same. DeRozan is nearing a return to the court for the Bulls. The best part is, the update is coming from DeRozan himself, who would know best, aside from the team doctors, how close he is to a return.

This is great news for a Bulls team that lost their first two games without DeRozan, then had their next two postponed due to an outbreak that saw 10 of their players enter the protocols.

Judging by DeRozan's social media post, it sounds like the Bulls could be getting his 26.4 points per game back in the lineup very soon, provided the rest of the Chicago team is able to play, COVID-willing.

That's exciting news for the Bulls on the status of DeMar DeRozan.
