The Bulls confirmed Sunday that Lewis (ankle) will re-sign with the team on a two-way contract, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Lewis finished the 2022-23 season as one of the Bulls' two-way players, but the undrafted rookie out of Marquette never got the chance to make his NBA debut after missing the entire campaign while recovering from a torn ACL. The Bulls didn't confirm prior to the start of free agency July 1 whether they declined to extend Lewis a qualifying offer, or whether they retained his rights as a restricted free agent. Lewis then took part in two games for the Bulls in the Las Vegas Summer League, only to be shut down with an ankle injury. The Bulls evidently came away encouraged enough from what they saw from Lewis to commit to him as one of their three two-way players for 2023-24, with undrafted rookie center Adama Sanogo being one of the others. Lewis will presumably spent most of the upcoming season in the G League with the Windy City Bulls.
