Patrick Beverley has reportedly agreed to join his hometown Chicago Bulls after reaching a buyout with the Orlando Magic.
The Bulls will be Beverley's fifth team since making his NBA debut in the 2012-2013 season. Beverley was initially drafted by the LA Lakers as the 42nd pick in 2009 before having his rights traded to the Miami Heat the following day, however, he was cut before the beginning of the season.
After spending three years overseas, Beverley joined the Houston Rockets, where he spent five seasons. He was then shipped to the LA Clippers as a part of the trade that sent Chris Paul to Houston. After four seasons with the Clippers, Beverley was traded twice in the summer of 2021, eventually landing with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Beverley's time in Minnesota lasted just one season as he was once again traded twice in the summer of 2022, landing with the Lakers. In the final hours before the trade deadline earlier this month, Beverley was traded to the Orlando Magic; however, he reached a buyout with the team that allowed him to join his hometown Bulls.
