Javon Freeman-Liberty, a standout with the Bulls summer league team, signed a two-way deal with the Toronto Raptors, his agent confirmed to NBC Sports Chicago's K.C. Johnson. Adrian Wojnarowski was first on the report.
Undrafted, Freeman-Liberty joined the Windy City Bulls after the 2022 collegiate season. He stood out with the Bulls summer league this summer, averaging 21.2 points per game on 49.3% and 46.3% shooting from the field and 3-point range, respectively.

He added 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, along with one block per contest.
Some believed Freeman-Liberty would be elevated to a contract with the Bulls. Yet, the Bulls solidified their two-way spots on Friday, signing Onuralp Bitim to their final spot. Adama Sanogo and Justin Lewis represent the other two-way spots on the team.
The Bulls still explored ways to keep Freeman-Liberty, according to Keith Glass, his longtime agent. But Toronto's opportunity proved too enticing because the Bulls no longer had any two-way contracts available. Freeman-Liberty played well for the Windy City Bulls last season.
Freeman-Liberty, an Illinois native, played two seasons at Valparaiso University before transferring to the DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago for his final two collegiate seasons. He was named to second-team All-Big East his senior year.
