E.J. Liddell lands with third team in the past three months

Former Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell is on the move… again. You may recall Liddell was traded to the Atlanta Hawks from the New Orleans Pelicans on June 28. Just a month later, the Hawks sent the former Buckeye to the Phoenix Suns. However, his time didn’t last long in Phoenix either as Liddell was cut to make room for another roster move. It looks like he now has a new home once more.

Michael Scotto of HoopsHype has reported that the Chicago Bulls have signed Liddell who is an Illinois native. The Bulls are in the midst of a rebuild and the Liddell signing brings the offseason roster to 21 which is the maximum number allowed. He’ll still have some work to do to make the 15-man roster.

Liddell was selected by the Pelicans in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft but suffered a torn ACL that ended his rookie season before it had a chance to begin. He played sparingly in his return this past season, appearing in just five games for the Pelicans, picking up most of his playing time in the NBA’s G-League.

Liddell was limited to just 23 NBA minutes over eight games but averaged 17.7 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the G League in 2023.
