Daily Bulls

With less than five days until opening night, the Chicago Bulls have adjusted their roster and given their second and final two-way contract. Chicago has made some roster changes ahead of Wednesday’s first 2022-23 Regular Season matchup. These changes were not significant for the main rotation of players but are essential for those fighting for the two-way contracts during the preseason. Here are details about the final touches made on the Chicago Bulls 2022-23 Roster.

Kostas Antetokounmpo signs Two-way Contract

After playing in two of the four preseason games, Kostas Antetokounmpo, brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo, has earned one of the two two-way contracts. Having a two-way contract means they will split time between the Chicago Bulls and the affiliate team Windy City Bulls, the G League team. Kostas will join Malcolm Hill with the Bulls players with two-way contracts. But Kostas and Malcolm are not eligible to play in the NBA Postseason.

One of the reasons for signing Kostas Antetokounmpo could be to encourage his brother and superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, to play in Chicago when he becomes a free agent. Kostas Antetokounmpo averaged 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in two of the four preseason games.

Bulls waive Justin Lewis and release Carlik Jones

Justin Lewis was one of two players (Lonzo Ball) on the Bulls’ preseason roster to play in any of the preseason games. Lewis will remain with the Bulls as he is recovering from an ACL injury. After he recovers, he could sign with the Windy City Bulls to play in the G League. Lewis averaged 16.8 points and 7.9 rebounds in his sophomore year at Marquette University.

Carlik Jones had good moments with the Bulls Summer League team in July but was not good enough. Jones averaged 1.3 points and 2.3 in three games with the Bulls during the preseason. One reason for Jones getting released could be that Chicago can not afford to have another guard on their roster. None of the Bulls’ two-way contracts got given to a guard. Jones may get an offer soon to join and play for the Windy City Bulls.

Chicago sign/cut Okaro White

The one player that caught Bulls fans off guard was the signing forward Okaro White on a one-year deal. Okaro White played for the Miami Heat and Washington Wizards in three NBA seasons. But he got cut shortly after and is on his way to join the Chicago Bulls affiliate team, Windy City Bulls.

He has averaged 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in 44 regular-season games. His last NBA game was on December 16th, 2018, against the Los Angeles Lakers, and his previous G League game was on March 6th, 2019, against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
