The Chicago Bulls have added another name to their offseason roster. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Chicago has signed Kevin Knox, the former lottery pick who continues to search for a lasting NBA home.
Details of the agreement haven’t been made public, though it’s likely an Exhibit 10 contract — a short-term deal that would allow the Bulls to retain Knox’s G League rights and assign him to the Windy City Bulls if he doesn’t make the main roster.

Knox’s career has been one of constant movement. The 26-year-old forward has already suited up for six different franchises — the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, and now, Chicago.
Originally selected ninth overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, Knox entered the league with size, athleticism, and scoring promise. His rookie season with New York remains his most productive stretch — 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game over 75 appearances. But his efficiency lagged, and his minutes quickly declined in the following seasons.
Over the past five years, Knox has averaged just 5.5 points per game while bouncing between NBA benches and G League rosters. Last year, he played for Golden State’s affiliate in Santa Cruz, where he posted 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds across 12 games — production that earned him a brief call-up late in the season.
The Bulls’ Low-Risk Bet
For the Bulls, this is a low-risk move — a chance to evaluate a 6-foot-7 forward who still has the physical tools to contribute. Knox offers length, a 6-foot-11 wingspan, and flashes of three-level scoring, even if consistency has remained elusive.
Chicago already has strong wing depth with Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis, and Isaac Okoro. That makes it unlikely Knox carves out significant minutes early, but his G League rights give the team flexibility if injuries hit later in the year.
If the deal is indeed an Exhibit 10, Knox could spend the season in Windy City while remaining within the Bulls’ system — an opportunity to rebuild his rhythm and confidence without the pressure of a guaranteed roster spot.
The Bottom Line for the Bulls
At this point in his career, Knox isn’t a breakout candidate. He’s a flyer — a once-promising prospect hoping for stability.
For Chicago, it’s a no-risk look. A simple addition that costs virtually nothing and could provide depth down the line.
It’s been a winding road for the former top-10 pick. Maybe this stop in Chicago finally helps him find his footing.
