Chicago Bulls Announce Full 2025 Summer League Roster

The Chicago Bulls have announced their 2025 NBA Summer League roster, which will feature their recent draft picks Noa Essengue and Lachlan Olbrich, along with second-year player Matas Buzelis. Bulls general manager Marc Eversley indicated that Buzelis will likely participate only in the Summer League opener to avoid injury, while Essengue, viewed as a developmental player, is expected to play more extensively. The roster also includes notable players like Josh Primo, who was signed last October to aid his injury rehabilitation despite his past suspension for conduct detrimental to the league, and guard Yuki Kawamura, recently with the Memphis Grizzlies. Local favorite Javon Freeman-Liberty, a Chicago native and former DePaul Blue Demon, will also be part of the team, offering additional experience. The Summer League will serve as a platform for these players to showcase their skills and vie for further opportunities within the Bulls' system, with emphasis on development and evaluation. The Bulls’ approach reflects a balance between nurturing young talent and giving opportunities to players looking to solidify their NBA careers.
