Since the start of training camp, the Chicago Bulls have signed and released a few guards in hopes of finding the right one. It looks like the Bulls have made their newest acquisition in hopes of achieving that mission.

According to a report from Michael Scotto of Hoopshype, Javon Freeman-Liberty plans on signing with the Chicago Bulls after opting out of his deal in Turkey. Freeman-Liberty is a 6 ft 4 in guard who played with the Toronto Raptors last season.

As a member of the Raptors, Freeman-Liberty averaged 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on 44/24/92 shooting from the field. In the season before during 2022-23, he was a member of the Windy City Bulls. Signing with the Chicago Bulls would essentially be a return for Javon Freeman-Liberty.

On March 1, 2024, the Toronto Raptors converted Freeman-Liberty's two-way contract into a multi-year NBA contract with the team. He posted a career-high of 20 points on April 9, 2024, against the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, he was then waived by the Raptors on July 22, 2024.
