The Suns originally selected Ulis in the second round of the 2016 draft. He was a rotation player for Phoenix as a rookie and averaged 7.8 points in 23.4 minutes per game last season.

Ulis was released by the Suns in late June in a move designed to create cap space for the team.

The Bulls open the regular season Thursday against the 76ers.
