DJ Steward: Everything you need to know

Steward logged 20 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes of Saturday's 89-84 Summer League loss to the Warriors. Steward, who has four years of G League experience, had 14 of his point by halftime. Steward was a featured player for the Memphis Hustle in 2024-25, posting averages of 19.1 points and 4.8 assists. He'll be hoping that a strong showing during the Summer League will net him a training camp invitation.

The Bulls waived Steward on Saturday. Chicago parted ways with Steward to free up a two-way spot for forward Emanuel Miller. The 23-year-old guard didn't appear in any games at the NBA level for Chicago prior to being cut but had averaged 19.9 points, 7.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 34.8 minutes per game across 16 appearances in the G League with the Windy City Bulls.

Steward (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks. The 23-year-old point guard out of Duke has spent the entire 2024-25 regular season in the G League with the Windy City Bulls, and through 16 games he is averaging 19.9 points, 7.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 34.8 minutes per game. Steward is away from the team due to a personal matter, and it's unclear when he will return.
