Following his standout senior season at Villanova University, the Chicago Bulls signed undrafted free agent guard Wooga Poplar to an Exhibit 10 contract, giving him the chance to join the team for Summer League and training camp. Poplar appeared in four games during this year's NBA 2K26 Summer League, averaging 6.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes per game, providing the front office with an early look at how he stacks up against NBA-level competition.

Despite gaining valuable experience throughout the offseason, Poplar was unable to impress the front office enough to remain a member of the training camp roster.
