The move

Brandon Boston is now on the Chicago Bulls' roster as of Saturday, Sep. 26, according to the team's official roster. He arrives from free agency, having been off an NBA roster. No injury or transaction report preceded the move; none is logged on file. Boston is a 24-year-old guard entering his fourth NBA season, joining Chicago's backcourt mix without any preceding buildup on record.

The money

Boston's contract terms are not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Bulls carry a payroll of $161.5 million across 14 contracts for 2026-27, which sits under the $165.0 million salary cap. Chicago is also under the $200.4 million luxury tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Boston's cap hit will be added once his contract is filed.

The fit

Boston has no NBA line from last season on file. He joins a Chicago backcourt already carrying heavy minutes: Josh Giddey averaged 32.1 minutes and 17.0 points, Coby White 29.1 minutes and 18.6 points, Jaden Ivey 28.9 minutes and 11.5 points, Anfernee Simons 28.4 minutes and 15.2 points, and Tre Jones 27.0 minutes and 14.1 points last season. The Bulls now carry 21 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
