(CHICAGO)  The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has signed guard Bronson Koenig. In accordance with team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Koenig (6-4, 194) spent the summer with the Milwaukee Bucks after going undrafted in the 2017 NBA Draft.

The La Crosse, Wisconsin, native knocked down at least one 3-pointer in three games, including a nine-point outing (3-of-5 from deep) in 22 minutes of action.
