Brandon Boston is off the Chicago Bulls roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18, according to the team's official roster. The move follows a Saturday report that the Bulls cut four camp invitees.

The move

Boston, a 24-year-old guard in his fourth season, is no longer on the Chicago Bulls roster, per the official roster checked Sunday, Oct. 18. Hoops Rumors reported Saturday, Oct. 17, under the headline "Bulls Cut Four Camp Invitees," that the club was moving on from a group of camp invitees; a confidence level for that report is not available. Boston is not announced as having joined another team.

The money

Boston's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and contract years are not available. The Bulls carry $164.3 million across 14 contracts for 2026-27, which is under the $165.0 million salary cap. Chicago sits well below the $200.4 million luxury tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.

The fit

Boston has no NBA line from last season. The Bulls' backcourt last season was led by Josh Giddey at 32.1 minutes and 17.0 points, Coby White at 29.1 minutes and 18.6 points, Jaden Ivey at 28.9 minutes and 11.5 points, Anfernee Simons at 28.4 minutes and 15.2 points, and Tre Jones at 27.0 minutes and 14.1 points. Isaac Okoro logged 26.9 minutes and 9.3 points. Chicago now carries 17 players on its roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
