The Bulls have signed a new player in NBA free agency
There are not many big NBA free agents remaining, but teams can still find value at this stage of the summer. This can often come via two-way contracts, which allows players to spend time at both the NBA and G League level without occupying a standard roster spot.
In a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday, it was announced that the Chicago Bulls had agreed to a two-way contract with former Duke star DJ Steward. Un-drafted in 2021, Steward played just one season at Duke before spending three seasons in the G League.Free agent guard DJ Steward has agreed on a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. Steward, 22, has averaged 19.3 points for the Bulls in Las Vegas Summer League — including 37 points on Friday night.
Spending one season at Duke, Steward averaged 13.0 PPG in 2021, earning ACC All-Freshman honors. Steward will join a Bulls group that looks much different than they have the last several seasons, and could undergo even bigger roster changes if a Zach LaVine trade can be found. As previously mentioned, two-way contracts do not count as a standard roster spots, so Chicago gets a very low-risk look at Steward.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
