"Chicago announced on X that the club has waived one of its three potential long-term adds, former Detroit Pistons lottery pick Jaden Ivey, due to conduct detrimental to the team."
"Ivey had arrived to the Windy City as covertly damaged goods, grappling with lingering knee pain following a preseason surgery, and was shut down after just four games."
"Now, among non-expiring contracts, the only potential long-term additions from Chicago's seven deadline trades are guard Rob Dillingham and power forward Leonard Miller."
"Across his brisk Chicago tenure, Ivey notched averages of 11.5 points on .417/.381/.889 shooting splits, 4.8 boards, 4.0 dimes, 2.0 swipes, and 0.5 blocks per game."
The Chicago Bulls have waived Jaden Ivey following his anti-LGBTQ comments and social media posts deemed detrimental to the team. Ivey, who struggled with knee pain and played only four games for the Bulls, is now an unrestricted free agent. His injury history has diminished his value as a restricted free agent. The Bulls' trade deadline strategy has resulted in only two potential long-term additions, alongside eight second-round draft picks. Ivey averaged 11.5 points and struggled with athleticism during his time with both the Pistons and Bulls.
