This past season, the Chicago Bulls season ended in disappointment. They were bounced in the Play-In Tournament by the Miami Heat, who went on to make the NBA Finals, but rather than considering a rebuild, the Bulls committed to winning. And so far this summer, the moves they’ve made have helped them improve their team’s ceiling.
As they prepare for next season, Nikola Vucevic and Coby White are back in place, and they also brought in Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig via free agency. Unfortunately for fans, they won’t get to see the new team in action until October, but preseason will give them an early look.
The Bulls just announced their official 2023-24 preseason schedule, and it’s full of some interesting matchups.
Chicago Bulls 2023-24 preseason schedule
Chicago opens up their preseason schedule with a game against the New Orleans Pelicans, which will give them a look at stars like Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum, and, if he’s healthy, Zion Williamson.
Then, they will welcome the reigning champion Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic to the United Center.
After that, the Bulls will make the trip up north to face off against the Toronto Raptors and Scottie Barnes.
Lastly, the Bulls will take on the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo, if he’s not shut down by that point.
Overall, it will be an interesting slate. And while preseason doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, it’s always fun to get an early look at the squad, and for the players on training camp deals, it’s their chance to earn a roster spot.
