Chicago Bulls Reportedly Acquire Intriguing 24-Year-Old Guard

The Chicago Bulls agreed on Monday to sign 24-year-old guard Jordan Hawkins to a two-way contract, filling their final two-way roster spot. ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the agreement after Hawkins cleared waivers following his release by the Memphis Grizzlies. Hawkins had recently been traded to Memphis from the New Orleans Pelicans on September 8.

A former 14th overall pick in 2023 out of UConn, Hawkins averaged 5.1 points in 51 games during the 2025-26 season. The signing reunites him with Bulls executive Bryson Graham, who previously worked in New Orleans' front office when Hawkins was drafted.
