Norman Powell reportedly agrees to two-year Bulls deal

Norman Powell has agreed to a two-year, $45 million deal with the Chicago Bulls, according to ESPN’s reporting from unnamed sources. The move would add a proven scoring guard to Chicago after Powell’s standout season with the Miami Heat.

Powell averaged 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 47% from the field in Miami. He also made his first All-Star team, topped 21 points per game for a second straight season and connected on 38% of his three-point attempts.

There is some context for editors to monitor: ESPN’s report says Powell was limited to 58 games because of injuries after a strong early run in which he scored at least 20 points in 29 of his first 38 games. No official Bulls or player announcement was included in the supplied source text.

Powell’s career path has already taken him from Toronto, where he was part of the Raptors’ 2019 title team, to Portland, the LA Clippers and Miami. If confirmed, his arrival in Chicago would bring another veteran scorer into the Bulls’ backcourt conversation.
