The Chicago Bulls have officially submitted their 17-man roster for the upcoming 2023-24 season, meeting Monday evening's deadline. With no surprises, the roster includes the inactive Lonzo Ball, who is expected to miss his second consecutive season due to his recent left knee surgery. Additionally, the Bulls have designated three players as two-way players, namely Adama Sanogo, Justin Lewis, and Onuralp Bitim.

Among the international players representing the Bulls, Nikola Vucevic joins Sanogo and Bitim. This season, the NBA is set to feature a record-breaking 125 international players from 40 countries across six continents on Opening Night.

Last week, the Bulls made a decision to waive Carlik Jones and his non-guaranteed contract, resulting in a final roster of 14 players for the NBA. It's worth noting that one roster spot remains open for the team. The Bulls still have half of their midlevel salary cap exception, which is estimated to be around $6 million. Additionally, they possess a disabled player exception worth $10.2 million for Lonzo Ball.

The Bulls have strategically put together a diverse and talented roster for the upcoming season, taking into account the international talent pool available. With the addition of Sanogo, Lewis, Bitim, and Vucevic, the team aims to blend international expertise with domestic talent to make a strong push in the highly competitive NBA.

Fans and supporters can look forward to witnessing an exciting season ahead, as the Chicago Bulls gear up to showcase their skills and chase success in the 2023-24 campaign.
