The Chicago Bulls
will waive veteran forward Noah Vonleh, who has tested positive
for COVID-19, according to a report from Yahoo Sports on Monday.
Vonleh "is feeling good overall" and will start a mandatory
10-day quarantine, Yahoo reported. He then will need to be
cleared by the NBA in order to return to another team.
"Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID, and so my time
with the Bulls has come to an end," Vonleh said in a statement
to Yahoo. "Thank you to the organization for everything. Though
it was a short time, I appreciate the opportunity. I am
thankfully feeling good, and I look forward to working my way to
another NBA opportunity once I'm cleared to play again!"
The 25-year-old has appeared in 335 games (171 starts) since
Charlotte selected him No. 9 overall out of Indiana in 2014. He
has averaged 5.0 points and 5.2 rebounds per game during his
career, which has included stints with six teams.
Chicago signed Vonleh to a non-guaranteed contract during the
offseason. He spent the 2019-20 campaign with the Minnesota
Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets, combining for 3.7 points
and 3.4 points per game in 36 contests (one start).
