Denver Nuggets two-way rookie Bol Bol has been assigned to the Windy City Bulls of the G League, the team announced on Twitter Monday afternoon.
With Bol set to join the Bulls, it appears as though the 7-foot-2 center is nearing his debut for the organization. Of course, Bol did not play in Summer League and hasn’t suited up yet for the Nuggets after suffering a foot injury last season at Oregon.
Since the Nuggets are one of two NBA teams without a direct G League affiliate, it was recently reported that Bol would play this season with the Bulls. Signed to a two-way contract, Bol will spend the majority of the season in the G League.

The report on Oct. 27 also indicated that Bol would be under a heavy minutes restriction to begin the season. Though it is unclear on how much time Bol will see initially, the Nuggets will certainly be cautious with their rookie as foot injuries have proven to be problematic with big men.
Bol has been seen practicing some with the Nuggets throughout training camp after he said in August that his foot injury has fully healed and he is completely healthy.
The Bulls play next on Friday against the Canton Charge.
