Bulls' Carlik Jones: Contract converted to standard deal
Rotowire
The Bulls are converting Jones' two-way contract to a standard deal Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Jones has spent the majority of the season with the Windy City Bulls and won G League Player of the Month in February. The 24-year-old guard will likely compete for a depth role for the NBA club but is unlikely to have much fantasy relevancy.
Jones delivered 28 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3PT, 5-8 FT), 12 assists, nine rebounds and one steal across 41 minutes in Windy City's 114-110 win over Raptors 905 on Wednesday.
Jones was stellar in Windy City's return to play Wednesday while pacing the team in scoring and assists, and he also led the Bulls in scoring with 27 points during Thursday's 108-103 rematch victory. The 25-year-old is now averaging a stellar 26.8 points (on 50.2 percent shooting), 7.5 assist, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 39.5 minutes in 15 regular-season games.
