The Chicago Bulls signed free agent guard DJ Steward to a two-way contract on Sunday.
A Chicago native, Steward, 22, was a standout for the Bulls’ Las Vegas Summer League team, including a 37-point effort on Friday against Atlanta.
The 6-foot-2 Steward appeared in 32 games (five starts) for the Maine Celtics — Boston’s G League affiliate — last season and averaged 19.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 29.7 minutes.
He has career averages of 15.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 27.2 minutes in 90 games (26 starts) in G League tenures with the Stockton Kings (2021-23) and Maine Celtics (2023-24).
Steward went undrafted after one season at Duke in 2020-21, when he averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 24 games (22 starts) in making the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Freshman first team.
The Bulls’ roster has 19 players, including the maximum three players under two-way contracts in Steward, guard Andrew Funk and forward Adama Sanogo.
