With training camp now mere weeks away, our Chicago Bulls’ 2026-27 season is suddenly top of mind everywhere. Accordingly, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis have been making the rounds all across the Summertime Chi.
Buzelis, a Windy City native, has long been a fixture at other Chicago sporting events. Rookie Wilson is following his lead. Suspiciously, Wilson’s fellow first-round pick Dailyn Swain has never joined the duo for their Chicago adventuring as far as we can tell. His brutal Summer League performance may have put him on thin ice with his new teammates.
Buzelis showed up at yet another major Chicago moment on Wednesday.

With the Chicago Fire playing at the Bears’ home stadium (for now), Soldier Field, Buzelis was naturally in attendance. But he wasn’t the only Chicago sports great to show up. Three-time Stanley Cup champ Patrick Kane, who’s primed for his triumphant return to the Blackhawks in free agency this offseason, was on hand to celebrate with fans and Buzelis alike. That’s Matas getting the five and hug from 88. twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks/status/2097851741316288557 The NBA released its entire preseason schedule for next month. After being shafted with just three national regular season bouts this year, our Bulls have earned another national bout — albeit for the preseason.

— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) September 9, 2026 As part of a recent Bulls season preview, ESPN’s Zach Kram is convinced that new Chicago starting center Nicolas Claxton will be the team’s top “X factor.” Claxton, on paper, is the kind of athletic, long-limbed, two-way rim-running center that the Bulls lacked throughout the AKME era. But as Kram notes, the 27-year-old’s blocks have slid precipitously since his days playing next to Kevin Durant (from 2.5 in 2022-23 to 1.1 this past season), while he’s permitting rival players to convert 60 percent of their takes against him near the rack. CHGO Bulls’ Big Dave appreciates the pick of Claxton as an X factor for the Bulls. The Eastern Conference is talented, but fairly wide-open around the play-in tournament range.“They’re not going to be asking him, maybe, to do too much,” Big Dave said. “If there’s anything he does well, it’s those things right there: block shots, rebound and run… I think he will be a little bit better [than he has been in recent seasons], personally, just for how the team is set up.”

Models in Bulls-themed graphic shirts were featured. twitter.com/BullsMuse_/status/2097834167811613023 On The Athletic‘s NBA Daily podcast, host Esfandiar Baraheni chopped it up with Bulls beat reporter Joel Lorenzi in a preview Chicago’s impending season. Both acknowledged that the city is abuzz as the Caleb Wilson hype continues to grow, while speculating on the ceilings of Buzelis and Claxton this year. Lorenzi suggests that fans will want to see “some evidence that the rebuild is heading in the right diection,” although Lorenzi conceded that the Bulls remain far away from contending. In fairness, Wilson is 20, Buzelis is 22, and Giddey is 23. Lorenzi, too, is somewhat lukewarm on Claxton’s upside. twitter.com/JoelXLorenzi/status/2097739423819460724 Elsewhere in the league, Shams Charania of ESPN reports that former Miami Heat vice president of player personnel Eric Amsler is jumping ship to serve as the Los Angeles Lakers’ “assistant general manager” under Rob Pelinka. Amsler has worked in some capacity with the Heat for the past 22 years, soaking up “Heat Culture.” HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto had posited that the Lakers were targeting him for this exact role way back in May.BULLS ON BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
