The Bulls waived Lofton on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite signing an Exhibit 10 contract with Chicago earlier this offseason, Lofton was unable to make the team's regular-season roster. He will now likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with the Windy City Bulls of the G League.

The Bulls signed Lofton to an Exhibit 10 contract Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton will have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot in training camp for Chicago. In 21 games between the Grizzlies, 76ers and Jazz in 2023-24, Lofton averaged 4.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 9.5.

The Jazz waived Lofton on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton signed a multi-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Jazz in March and made four appearances, averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 22.8 minutes. However, he doesn't fit into Utah's long-term plans after a mediocre showing during Summer League. The Jazz also waived Darius Bazley on Wednesday.

Lofton supplied 27 points (10-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 110-109 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton led all players in Friday's contest in scoring while shooting a perfect mark from the free-throw line and ending one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. Lofton set a season high in scoring, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time this year. His rebound total matched a season high, while his eight dimes set a season-high total.

Lofton totaled 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 124-121 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton posted several season-high marks in Thursday's win, and the uptick in minutes is related to the fact the Jazz have nothing to play for down the stretch. Don't be surprised if Lofton hovers around the 20-minute mark in the final two games of the season as well.

Lofton and the Jazz agreed to a three-year, non-guaranteed contract Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton has found a new home after stints with the Grizzlies and 76ers. Because the deal is non-guaranteed, the Jazz can get a risk-free look at Lofton. And given their position in the standings, as well as the amount of injuries on the roster, Lofton will almost certainly get an opportunity at some point down the stretch.

The 76ers waived Lofton on Friday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
EDGE Analysis
During Lofton's limited time with the 76ers, he made just two appearances. He has, however, been dominant in the G League. He's likely to attract interest from around the league with this news.

Lofton (personal) tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over five minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 127-104 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Lofton, one of Philadelphia's three two-way players, appeared in game for either the 76ers or the G League's Delaware Blue Coats for the first time since Jan. 10, after he had been out of action for most of the past month due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder as well as a personal matter. With the 76ers ruling out six other players to injuries, Lofton received some run off the bench in garbage time, but the second-year big man will likely head to Delaware once the NBA club is closer to full strength.
