Overview
- Tobe Awaka signed a two‑way contract with the Chicago Bulls, a move reported Thursday by multiple outlets citing ESPN’s Shams Charania.
- Awaka went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft after two seasons at Arizona and will use Summer League in Las Vegas as his first opportunity to showcase NBA readiness.
- A two‑way deal limits the number of NBA games he can play and routes most of his season to the Windy City Bulls for development and call‑ups.
- Awaka is a 6‑foot‑8, rebound‑and‑defense‑first forward who averaged about 9.3 points and 9.1 rebounds off the bench and was named Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year.
- Chicago added Awaka as part of its draft‑night roster building that included first‑round picks Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain and other two‑way signings such as Jaylin Sellers.
