Waiver effective in Chicago
The Chicago Bulls have waived Marquel Sutton effective October 1. The move is already listed as effective: it is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and the forward leaves the first team ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The transaction is listed in NBA.com oficial and was detailed by RealGM, which linked the exit to the signing of forward Jalen Bridges announced by the team. None of the references published salary figures, a detailed length or contract clauses.
Marquel Sutton profile and fit
Marquel Sutton, a 6-foot-7 forward from LSU, arrived in Chicago as a training-camp invite after playing Summer League with Sacramento, where he averaged 8.8 points and 4.8 rebounds across eight games. His profile offered wing energy and preseason minutes without tying up a standard roster spot.
What it means for the roster
For Chicago, the immediate effect is an open training-camp spot after locking in Bridges, who averaged 14.5 points with the Maine Celtics in the G League last season. Sutton becomes a free agent and the path outlined is Windy City Bulls, although the club has not announced a further step directly linked to this exit, a scenario also examined by Hoops Rumors.
