Talen Horton-Tucker is headed back home to
Chicago, although probably to the Windy City Bulls and not the big club.
Horton-Tucker agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with Chicago, a story
broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and
confirmed by K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago. An Exibit 10 contract means the player is invited to training camp and, if he does not make the main roster, he can get a bonus of up to $77,500 for signing with the club's G-League team, in this case the Windy City Bulls.
The Bulls have 14 guaranteed contracts on the books — plus a partially guaranteed deal with
Onuralp Bitim — leaving one open roster spot heading into training camp and the season. However, the club is expected to leave that spot unfilled both for financial savings and roster flexibility. The Bulls also have one open two-way contract that Horton-Tucker and
Kenneth Lofton Jr. will be battling for.
