Report: Horton-Tucker makes Bulls' roster
Talen Horton-Tucker has made the Chicago Bulls' opening-night roster, sources told ESPN's Jamal Collier.
Horton-Tucker reportedly agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with Chicago prior to training camp. The Iowa State product earned a spot on the Bulls with a solid preseason, averaging 13 points, 3.6 boards, and 2.2 assists across five appearances.
Horton-Tucker is expected to provide backcourt depth behind Josh Giddey, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Lonzo Ball.
The 23-year-old averaged 10.1 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.4 boards over 51 games for the Utah Jazz last season.
The Orlando Magic drafted Horton-Tucker with the No. 46 overall pick in 2019. His rights were then dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spent the first three seasons of his career.
