The Chicago Bulls have signed forward EJ Liddell to their training camp roster, marking his third team this summer after stints with the New Orleans Pelicans and temporary trades to the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns. Liddell, the No. 41 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, missed his rookie season due to a torn ACL but showed promise in the G-League, averaging 17.7 points and 7.8 rebounds. The Bulls' training camp roster now includes six players, five of whom hail from Illinois, as the team emphasizes local talent and young players. Liddell will compete for a spot against Kenny Lofton Jr. and Talen Horton-Tucker, with one two-way contract available. His abilities as a versatile player align with the Bulls' strategy under coach Billy Donovan, who values players capable of filling multiple roles. The Bulls open training camp on September 30, leading to an intense competition for roster positions.
