Simons Shines with 22 Points, Six Triples in Bulls Starting Debut

Anfernee Simons made his Chicago Bulls debut Thursday against the Raptors, immediately entering the starting lineup after being acquired from Boston. He capitalized on the opportunity, scoring 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-13 3Pt) with three assists, two rebounds, and one block in 32 minutes during the 123-107 loss. Simons, who averaged 16.9 points and 3.1 three-pointers in his final 10 Celtics games, connected on a game-high six triples. His role may adjust upon the return of Josh Giddey and Tre Jones, and with competition from Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton.
