(670 The Score) The Bulls will sign guard Mac McClung and big man Ersan Ilyasova to 10-day contracts via hardship exceptions, according to multiple reports Tuesday afternoon.
The news came as Bulls guard Devon Dotson landed in the NBA's health and safety protocols, according to Darnell Mayberry of the Athletic. Dotson was momentarily the sixth Bulls player in the protocols at the time, but wing Troy Brown Jr. has exited the protocols, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported later in the afternoon. Bulls star guard Zach LaVine, guard Matt Thomas, guard Ayo Dosunmu and big man Alize Johnson were all still in the protocols as of mid-afternoon Tuesday.
