The Chicago Bulls are holding on to forward Leonard Miller, exercising a $2.4 million team option to keep him on the roster for the 2026-27 season, according to a Saturday report from Spotrac.
Miller’s deal is expected to become fully guaranteed come Tuesday, per the same report.
The 22-year-old made a solid impression after joining Chicago in a Feb. 5 trade with Minnesota, putting up averages of 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds across 27 games, including 12 starts.
Originally selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, the 6-foot-10 Canadian has compiled career averages of 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds over 76 games — 12 as a starter — split between his time with the Timberwolves from 2023 to 2026 and his more recent stint with the Bulls.
