The Chicago Bulls announced their 19-man roster for the start of 2025-26 training camp on Sunday. Camp will run from Tuesday, Sept. 30, through Sunday, Oct. 5, at the Advocate Center in Chicago. The Bulls will then open preseason play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

The roster includes a mix of established veterans, young returners and new additions as the franchise looks to turn the page on recent rebuilding seasons. Guards Coby White, Josh Giddey, Jevon Carter, Ayo Dosunmu, and rookie Yuki Kawamura headline the backcourt group, alongside Dalen Terry and offseason addition Tre Jones.

On the wing, Matas Buzelis, Chicago’s highly touted young forward, joins Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, Julian Phillips, Emanuel Miller, and Isaac Okoro, giving head coach Billy Donovan plenty of perimeter versatility to experiment with.

In the frontcourt, veteran center Nikola Vucevic anchors the group, supported by Zach Collins, Jalen Smith, Mouhamadou Gueye, Noa Essengue, and Australian prospect Lachlan Olbrich.

The Bulls enter training camp with renewed optimism following an offseason that saw the acquisition of Giddey and Huerter, as well as the continued development of Buzelis and Phillips. White, coming off a career-best season, is expected to play a central leadership role and elevate in his final contract year, while Williams faces a pivotal year in his development, who signed a five-year, $90 million contract but has underperformed since then.

With competition for rotation spots wide open, the weeklong training camp will provide the first look at how Chicago’s reshaped roster fits together heading into the new season.
