Duarte has been traded to the Bulls as part of the deal that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Duarte will add depth on the wings for the Bulls, though it's unclear if he'll have much of a role with the team outside of being a bench option. He made 11 starts and 59 total regular-season appearances for the Kings in 2023-24, and his averages of 3.9 points and 1.8 boards per game aren't enough to make him appealing in fantasy even if he ends up having a more significant role with the Bulls compared to the one he had in Sacramento.

Duarte posted no counting stats over zero minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks. Duarte played just eight seconds in the loss, continuing his terrible season. He is well outside the top 300 for the season, often spending his entire evening sitting on the bench. Outside of some very specific streaming opportunities, Duarte can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.

Duarte ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets. Duarte came into Wednesday averaging just 3.6 points in February, and he had logged more DNPs (six) than games played (five). However, the third-year pro got some extra run in the blowout loss and finished as Sacramento's second-leading scorer with a season-high 18 points. It remains to be seen if the performance will lead to more playing time for Duarte moving forward, but it was at least a positive performance in what has been an overall disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old.

Duarte scored three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and grabbed a rebound over eight minutes of court time in Wednesday's 102-98 win over the Nuggets. Duarte didn't play in Tuesday's 130-125 loss to Phoenix after being cleared to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain, but the swingman cracked the rotation Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. Though he was able to knock down a three-pointer on his limited time on the court, Duarte isn't a lock to be a fixture on head coach Mike Brown's second unit when the Kings return to action coming out of the All-Star break.

Duarte (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against Phoenix. Duarte will return from a three-game absence after suffering a right ankle sprain during pregame warmups of the Kings' loss to the Pistons on Feb. 7. Before missing time with the injury, Duarte had been on the outskirts of the rotation, so he may not be in store for any playing time Tuesday even though he's available.
