International basketball continues to grow, and the influx of former NBA players making their way overseas certainly fuels the expanding sport. The most recent player to take their NBA talent overseas is former Chicago Bulls big man Adama Sanogo.
After waiving center Adama Sanogo, the Chicago Bulls signed Jahmir Young on a two-way contract. He has never touched the floor of an NBA court but has proved to be a solid scoring guard in the G League.
On Thursday, the Chicago Bulls (22-33) made an announcement on Patrick Williams hours before the team was set to face the New York Knicks (36-18) at Madison Square Garden.

The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
The Chicago Bulls are making a change to one of their two-way roster spots, according to NBA insiders Michael Scotto of HoopsHype and Chris Haynes. Following the news from Haynes that the team would waive big man Adama Sanogo, Scotto reported that guard Jahmir Young would fill the vacant spot.
Adama Sanogo is in the middle of his second NBA season with the Chicago Bulls. He is averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest while shooting 57.1% from the field in four games.

The Chicago Bulls showcased their resilience and determination as they secured a nail-biting win against the Washington Wizards. The Bulls triumphed 129-127 in a pulsating encounter.
The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons are battling things out on Tuesday night in Chicago, and before the game, two former UConn basketball players shared a special moment.
Research from NBC Sports Chicago's Kevin Anderson initially reported the Chicago Bulls would not have a rostered player included in 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend events, something the team hasn't experienced since 1980.
