The Chicago Bulls have signed a former top prospect to a training camp deal, the team announced on Thursday. The 21-year-old player, who was selected 12th overall in the 2021 draft, is expected to join the Windy City Bulls, the team’s G-League affiliate, to continue his rehabilitation from a left ankle injury.
The injury, a stress fracture in the navicular bone, required surgery during the offseason and has kept the player sidelined since March. He appeared in only two games last season with his previous team before being waived in April.
Despite his limited NBA experience, the player has shown promise in the G League, averaging 16.7 points per game. However, his young career has been marred by off-court issues, including an investigation into indecent exposure allegations in 2022. The incident led to his release from his previous team and a four-game suspension from the league.
The player has maintained that his actions were not intentional, and an independent investigation found no evidence of any misconduct beyond the incidents in question. As he looks to revive his career, the player will focus on his rehabilitation and development with the Windy City Bulls.
