Orlando Robinson is off the Chicago Bulls roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18, based on the team's official roster. The move follows a Saturday report that the Bulls cut four camp invitees.

The move

Orlando Robinson, a 26-year-old center with four seasons of experience, is off the Chicago Bulls roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18. The move was detected through the team's official roster rather than a separate announcement. It follows a Saturday, Oct. 17 report from Hoopsrumors headlined "Bulls Cut Four Camp Invitees," which carried no confidence rating. No destination for Robinson is announced.

The money

Robinson's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so no cap figure or contract length for him is available. Chicago's payroll stands at $164.3 million across 14 contracts for 2026-27, which is under the $165.0 million salary cap. The Bulls also sit below the $200.4 million luxury tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.

The fit

In his only action for Chicago last season, Robinson played 4 games, averaging 6.2 minutes, 1.8 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.8 assists. The Bulls' rotation last season was led by Josh Giddey (32.1 minutes, 17.0 points), Nikola Vucevic (30.8 minutes, 16.9 points), Matas Buzelis (29.2 minutes, 16.3 points), Coby White (29.1 minutes, 18.6 points), Jaden Ivey (28.9 minutes, 11.5 points), Anfernee Simons (28.4 minutes, 15.2 points), Tre Jones (27.0 minutes, 14.1 points) and Isaac Okoro (26.9 minutes, 9.3 points). Chicago's roster now lists 17 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
