Norman Powell Agrees to Two-Year, $45 Million Contract with Chicago Bulls

Free-agent guard Norman Powell agreed to a two-year, $45 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, ESPN reported. Powell averaged 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 47 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range during his season with the Miami Heat. He appeared in 58 games and earned his first All-Star selection.

The Heat acquired Powell from the LA Clippers in a three-team trade involving the Utah Jazz last July. He averaged over 21 points per game for a second consecutive season. Powell spent the first five-plus seasons of his career with the Toronto Raptors, where he averaged 9.9 points per game and contributed to the team's 2019 NBA championship.

The Raptors traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021. Just over a year later, Portland sent him to the Clippers, where he averaged 21.8 points per game in his final season there. Bulls executives finalized the contract with agents Jason Glushon and Khalid McCaskill of Glushon Sports Management.
