The Chicago Bulls are nearing a deal with free-agent guard Patrick Beverley for the remainder of the NBA season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The Los Angeles Lakers traded Beverley to the Orlando Magic earlier this month as part of a trade-deadline deal to acquire backup center Mo Bamba. The Magic waived Beverley three days later, and he became a free agent.
The Bulls are signing Beverley amid reports that point guard Lonzo Ball is out for the season due to a knee injury that has sidelined him since January 2022.
