Onuralp Bitim Latest News
Let go by Chicago
The Bulls waived Bitim on Thursday. Bitim averaged 3.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 11.7 minutes in 23 regular-season appearances, including one start, for Chicago last season. He will now enter the 2024-25 campaign as a free agent.
Returns to bench Wednesday
Bitim will come off the bench in Wednesday's preseason contest versus Minnesota. Bitim gives way to Coby White, who will reprise his starting role alongside Josh Giddey and Zach LaVine on Wednesday. Bitim will help anchor a second unit that is without Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder/rest) and Dalen Terry (knee).
Enters starting five
Bitim is starting Monday's preseason game against the Bucks. Bitim will get a chance to run with the first unit Monday evening while the Bulls give the majority of the starting five the night off. Bitim didn't see any action in Saturday's preseason game, so this will be a great opportunity for the 25-year-old to show what he can do.
Good to go for camp
Bitim (eye) is healthy ahead of training camp, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Bitim suffered a detached retina in his right eye during the Bulls' penultimate game last season and underwent two surgeries this offseason to fix the issue. However, he's back to 100 percent ahead of training camp and will be battling for the final Opening Night roster spot.
Suffers detached retina
The Bulls announced Tuesday that Bitim will miss the entirety of the postseason after being diagnosed with a detached retina in his right eye. Bitim didn't play in Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks in regular-season finale, but he earned his first NBA start two days prior, posting six points in 25 minutes in a 129-127 win over the Wizards. The rookie from Turkey didn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest, so it's unclear if he suffered the injury at some point during his start Friday or perhaps in a recent practice session. During the regular season, Bitim appeared in 23 games and averaged 3.5 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 11.7 minutes.
Back to bench
Bitim (wrist) will play a reserve role in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Knicks. Bitim is coming off a rare spot start but will return to his usual depth forward role in New York. He has averaged 3.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 11.1 minutes in 22 games off the bench for the Bulls this season.
Cleared for action
Bitim (wrist) is active Sunday versus New York. Bitim will suit up for Chicago's regular-season finale despite dealing with left wrist soreness. Bitim scored six points (2-10 FG) in 25 minutes during Friday's win over Washington, and he could be in store for a similar workload due to Ayo Dosunmu (quad) being ruled out.
Likely for Sunday
Bitim is listed as probable for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Knicks due to left wrist soreness. Bitim is coming off his first start of the season. He produced six points (1-6 FG) and two rebounds across 25 minutes in the contest. It remains to be seen if the Bulls will again be without several starters or not in Sunday's contest.
Draws first start of season
Bitim is starting Friday's game against Washington. Bitim will get an opportunity to run the floor with the first unit due to the majority of Chicago's starting five sitting out Friday evening. He'll start alongside Coby White, Dalen Terry, Torrey Craig and Javonte Green.
