The Chicago Bulls filled the last spot on their training camp roster Thursday night, signing point guard Isaiah Stevens after waiving Peter Suder to open the 21st spot.

The team announced the move on social media.

Terms were not disclosed, but the deal is widely expected to be a non-guaranteed training camp contract that includes Exhibit 10 language.

That structure is common for camp invites who sit outside the guaranteed roster. If Chicago waives Stevens before the regular season, he can still collect a bonus of up to $91,000 on top of a typical G League salary, provided he spends at least 60 days with the Windy City Bulls.

Exhibit 10 deals can also be converted into two-way contracts. Those agreements are non-guaranteed and pay about half the rookie minimum, roughly $679,000 this season. Stevens has already played under that kind of deal twice.

The 5-foot-11 guard starred at Colorado State before going undrafted in 2024. Miami signed him to an Exhibit 10 contract that summer, waived him before the 2024-25 season, then brought him back in December on a two-way.

He finished his rookie year with the Heat. The sides parted in the 2025 offseason, and Sacramento signed him to another two-way. He spent all of 2025-26 on that contract with the Kings, then was waived in late July.

His NBA sample remains thin. Stevens has made three appearances in each of his two seasons, the kind of limited look that rarely settles a player’s future. The more substantial body of work has come in the G League.

Across 33 games with the Stockton Kings last season, he averaged 33.6 minutes and posted 14.5 points, 8.6 assists against 2.6 turnovers, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.8 steals.

He shot 47.0 percent from the field, 29.2 percent from three, and 85.0 percent from the free-throw line. The assist numbers and low turnover rate are the clearest argument for another look: a small guard who can organize an offense and protect the ball.

For Chicago, the signing is less a statement about the rotation than a way to stock camp and the G League affiliate. The Bulls already have their primary ball-handlers, and a non-guaranteed deal does not lock Stevens into the 15-man roster.

It does give the front office a known quantity who has already navigated two-way life, and it gives Stevens a path back into an organization if he plays well in preseason or in Windy City. At 25, he is still young enough that a strong camp or a productive G League stretch could reopen the two-way conversation.

If not, the Exhibit 10 structure at least ties a modest bonus to a defined stay with the affiliate.

Either way, the Bulls used the opening created by Suder’s waiver to add a point guard whose professional résumé is short on NBA minutes and long on playmaking.
