Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan announced Thursday via his social media accounts the upcoming release of his memoir, "ABOVE THE NOISE." The release date is set for Sept. 10, 2024, and it's currently available for preorder.

"ABOVE THE NOISE" will present as a key theme DeRozan's "very public struggle with depression, in the hopes that other people will not suffer alone."

DeRozan has been a notable mental health advocate since publicly disclosing his challenges with depression in 2018 while a member of the Toronto Raptors. The veteran's mental health advocacy platform gained additional awareness in 2024 with the launch of his "Dinners with DeMar" YouTube series.

DeRozan is extension-eligible as the Bulls enter the 2024 offseason. Chicago reportedly offered DeRozan a two-year, $80 million contract extension, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Re-signing DeRozan, among other roster priorities, will be challenging given the Bulls are unlikely to spend more than their $41,358,176.00 luxury tax threshold on a play-in-caliber roster.
