G League guard Andrew Funk will sign a two-way contract with the Bulls, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Funk, 24, inked an Exhibit 10 deal with the Nuggets last July after going undrafted out of Penn State. He was waived before the start of the season and joined the Grand Rapids Gold, where he’s averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 20 regular season games. He’s one of the G League’s best outside shooters, connecting at better than 39% from three-point range.
Funk will fill the two-way spot that will open when Onuralp Bitim is converted to a standard deal, as Charania reported Friday. Those moves will give Chicago a full 18-man roster, with all three two-way slots filled.
Depending on when Funk officially signs, he will be eligible to appear in 15 or 16 games for the Bulls for the rest of the season.
