The Chicago Bulls are back from All-Star weekend tomorrow when they take on the New York Knicks.
The Bulls have had a disastrous season and will try to finish the season strong and hopefully get a decent pick in the draft.
Before tomorrow’s game against the Knicks, the Bulls made a roster move by subtracting one player and adding another to take his place.
The Chicago Bulls release an injured player
According to NBA Insider Chris Haynes, the Bulls have released Power Forward/Center Adama Sanogo after learning he suffered a knee injury and would be out for four weeks.
“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, a 6-9 big from the University of Connecticut, has been in the Bulls system for two seasons and has signed a two-way contract for each season. Sanogo has played 13 games in his career and has appeared in four games for the Bulls this season.
For his career, the native of Mali has averaged 6.7 minutes, scored 3.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and shot 52.9% from the field. Down in the G League this season Sanogo has been a solid player, averaging 29.0 minutes a game, 17.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game.
According to Bulls Insider K.C. Johnson, the Bulls will replace Sanogo with Jahmir Young who once played for the University of Maryland.

A tough road ahead for the Bulls
The Bulls will have a tough road ahead to finish up this season.
The Bulls are now down one less big man to help get them across the finish line and further add to their ever-growing roster of guards.
These final games will be critical for the Bulls to figure out players that should stick around for the rebuild and be given long-term deals.
