DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams team up at Drew League

The two Bulls teammates combined for 50 points in the win on Saturday.

The Drew League is always a spectacle in the summer as NBA players show up and show out for fans on an almost weekly basis.

On Saturday, Bulls teammates DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams and rookie Dalen Terry popped up to play for Cheaters, helping them get the win, led by DeRozan’s 36 points to celebrate his 33rd birthday.

Patrick Williams finished with a double-double — 14 points and 14 rebounds — alongside DeRozan’s 36 points.

DeRozan, who played in the Drew League a few weeks ago alongside Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, has been a staple at the Drew for years.
