The Bulls are hiring former NBA guard — and former Bull — E’Twaun Moore as a scout, tweets K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago. Moore hails from East Chicago, Indiana, which is approximately 18 miles from downtown Chicago, Illinois.
Moore, 35, was last under contract in 2021/22 with Orlando, though he didn’t appear in any regular season games for the Magic. He was waived in February 2022 to make room on Orlando’s roster just before the trade deadline.
The 55th pick of the 2011 draft after starring in college at Purdue, Moore spent 11 seasons in the NBA with Boston, Orlando, Chicago, New Orleans and Phoenix. He played for the Bulls from 2014-16.
Moore hasn’t officially announced his retirement from playing, but he’s been out of the league for two consecutive seasons now. As of January 2023, Moore was still working out in the hope of receiving a call from an NBA team; however, he was also preparing for his post-playing career, including some successful investments.
The 6’3″ guard averaged 7.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists on .455/.388/.742 shooting in 598 regular season games over the course of his career, including 191 starts (21.0 minutes per contest).
