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.
On Wednesday, Chris Haynes reported that Sanogo will be waived.
Via Haynes: “Chicago Bulls are waiving Adama Sanogo who is on a two-way contract after discovering he’ll be sidelined for approximately four weeks with a knee injury, league sources inform me.”
Sanogo went undrafted out of UConn in 2023.
Over his two seasons with the Bulls, the 23-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest while shooting 52.9% from the field in 13 games.
Many people reacted to the news on social media.
@Duncan_White14: “Damn this sucks
Was hoping Sanogo would get healthy and we’d see him on the Bulls to end the season
I’m a little shocked they waived him, but maybe he’s in line for an NBA contract with the team in the offseason?”
@SeeRedUK: “This sucks for Sanogo
But let’s be honest…he was never gonna get a chance with Bulls”
@finleykuehl: “Sanogo will get another chance. He’s one of the best per-minute rebounders in the NBA. Sucks to see this happen”
The Bulls are the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 22-33 record in 55 games.
They are in the middle of a four-game losing streak (and 3-7 over their last ten).
On Thursday night, the Bulls will resume action when they visit the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
