Primo is expected to join the Windy City Bulls as he rehabs an injury and works toward an NBA return.
Primo was the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft out of Alabama.
He has spent part of three seasons with the San Antonio Spurs (and Clippers).
His career averages are 5.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest while shooting 37.1% from the field and 30.0% from the three-point range in 56 games.
At just 21, Primo is an intriguing player for the Bulls to have in their system.

Primo, coincidentally, was selected one pick ahead of Chris Duarte. Swingman likely will end up with Windy City, continues pattern of youth w/ experience"
