After being traded by the Los Angeles Lakers and then waived by the Orlando Magic, free agent guard Patrick Beverley is finalising a deal with the Chicago Bulls; the story was first broken by ESPN on Monday night after his agent Kevin Bradbury confirmed the details
Free agent guard Patrick Beverley is finalising a deal with the Chicago Bulls.
His agent Kevin Bradbury broke the news to ESPN first on Monday evening and the 34-year-old followed up by tweeting "it's official" from his personal account.
The deal is likely to be completed as soon as Tuesday, with the Bulls expected to waive center Tony Bradley to make room for Beverley on the roster.
They were able to sign him after he was traded by the Los Angeles Lakers to the Orlando Magic on the February 9 trade deadline.
The Magic waived Beverley on February 12 after reaching a buyout agreement, and he subsequently cleared waivers to become a free agent before his path aligned with the Bulls.
His return will be a welcome one. He grew up in Chicago, attended John Marshall High School, and spent his days watching the team in their glory days. Now he gets to sign for the side that inspired him to start playing in his childhood.
