Rotowire
Head coach Tiago Splitter expected all of the Bulls to practice for the start of training camp Monday, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Swain missed the Summer League finale with wrist soreness but sounds to be ready to go for the start of camp. The rookie first-rounder is set to battle with Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams for playing time on the wing as a reserve to begin the year.
Swain is out for Friday's Summer League game against the Cavaliers due to right wrist soreness, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
The Bulls are holding out the rookie first-rounder for their Summer League finale Friday. There's no reason to believe Swain will be limited at all when training camp opens up in the fall.
Swain was selected by the Bulls with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Swain lands in Chicago after putting together a dominant junior season at Texas. The athletic forward was the engine of the Longhorns' offense, putting up a stellar line of 17.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while displaying tremendous efficiency inside the arc with a 54.2 percent shooting mark from the field. Swain possesses a versatile, modern skill set, offering the size to impact the game on the glass alongside the playmaking chops to generate looks for others out of the frontcourt. A significant driver behind that high field-goal percentage is Swain's elite ability as a finisher at the rim. He excels at using his length and explosive athleticism to play through contact in the paint, frequently converting tough, contested looks and generating second-chance opportunities. While his perimeter shooting consistency remains a development point as he transitions to the NBA, his interior scoring prowess, defensive motor and elite athletic traits give him dynamic upside. He joins a Bulls squad looking to inject youthful length and playmaking into its core, positioning Swain to compete for immediate minutes during his rookie campaign.
