The Bulls have waived shooting guard Wooga Poplar, who was with the team on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, according to the NBA’s official transaction log.
Poplar, who spent three years at Miami (FL) before transferring to Villanova for the 2024/25 campaign, signed with the Bulls early in the summer after a strong senior season in which he averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 31.9 minutes per game while shooting .460/.387/.856 in 36 appearances for the Wildcats. He went undrafted in June.
Poplar, 22, suited up for Chicago’s Summer League team in Las Vegas in July, averaging 6.5 PPG, 1.2 RPG, and 1.0 APG in 15.9 MPG across four outings. The expectation is that he’ll join the Windy City Bulls — if he spends at least 60 days with the Bulls’ G League affiliate, he’ll earn a bonus worth $85,300 on top of his standard NBAGL salary.
The move opens up a spot on the Bulls’ 21-man roster ahead of training camp next week. Chicago will likely fill that opening before camp begins.
