Professional sports signings
- Bulls G Tre Jones signed with Austin Brown and Max Saidman of CAA Sports. Jones is heading into the second year of a three-year deal with the Bulls which was previously negotiated by Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management. The 26-year-old, now entering his seventh year in the NBA, is coming off one of his best seasons where he saw an expanded role with the Bulls and averaged a career-high in points per game.
- NBA free agent G Bones Hyland signed with The Team. Hyland, formerly represented by Austin Walton of Next Sports Agency, will be using his new representation to negotiate a new deal as he’s coming off a one-year deal with the Timberwolves where he was an unexpected spark off the bench in the regular season. Hyland will still be partly managed by 3 Arts Sports.
- Former NBA F Trey Lyles signed with Octagon’s Alex Saratsis. He was previously represented by Klutch Sports’ Rich Paul. After spending 10 years in the NBA with the Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Pistons and Kings, Lyles signed a one-year deal with Real Madrid of the Liga ACB and the EuroLeague which included an NBA out clause in September 2025. An NBA return may be possible as the agency has previously negotiated global basketball players’ NBA debuts like Bucks F Alex Antetokounmpo’s two-way contract with Milwaukee and Trail Blazers G Vít Krejčí’s transition from overseas basketball to the NBA.
