Awaka produced 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over the Suns.
With Nic Claxton (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe) already banged up, Awaka is an intriguing guy to monitor this preseason. Though undersized, he's a superb rebounder, so he could earn minutes in the rotation if the Bulls' bigs aren't healthy to start the year.

Rotowire
Awaka finished with 12 points (5-5 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over 19 minutes in Thursday's 105-82 Summer League loss to the Lakers.
Awaka had a double-double in Tuesday's 99-87 Summer League victory over Washington. He wasn't as productive Thursday, but he still managed to record his second consecutive double-digit scoring performance in Las Vegas. The 22-year-old is currently signed to a two-way deal with the Bulls. Although Awaka could see some action with the parent club during the 2026-27 campaign, he is expected to spend most of his time in the G League.

Rotowire
Awaka has agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Despite being undersized at 6-foot-8, Awaka is a terrific rebounder who plays with a lot of grit on defense. He still has a lot of room to grow on offense, though, so he'll likely be a project for the Bulls this season, spending most of his time in the G League.
