Alkins recorded 23 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, two blocks and two steals in Sunday's win over the G League Ignite.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins was fantastic during the team's season-opening victory, as the guard led the team offensively while making many other statistical contributions across 30 minutes of action.

Alkins has inked a contract with Raptors 905.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins was cut loose by the Pelicans in mid-December and remained without a team until this point. It appears he's found a new home in the G League and the guard has averaged 6.4 minutes in his first two appearances with the team.

Alkins was waived by the Pelicans on Saturday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins spent the preseason in New Orleans after signing with the Pelicans at the beginning of December, but he'll be let go several weeks later. The 23-year-old last appeared in the NBA during the 2018-19 season, when he averaged 3.7 points over 10 contests with the Bulls.

Alkins signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pelicans on Tuesday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins spent time with Houston during summer league last year and will now get a chance with New Orleans. The 23-year-old hasn't seen NBA action since the 2018-19 campaign, when he averaged 3.7 points in 10 games with the Bulls.

Alkins will start Saturday's game against the 76ers, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins will get his first career start Saturday, replacing Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot at at small forward. Across seven games this season, Alkins is averaging 3.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 9.7 minutes.

Alkins accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, and three assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins finished with a career high scoring total in this his seventh NBA appearance. The rookie has seen double-digit minutes in three of the last four games, and based on the injury report Alkins is likely in line to earn ample time across the final three matchups.

Alkins was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alkins will provide the Bulls with a healthy body on the wing after starter Chandler Hutchison (foot) was diagnosed with an injury Saturday that will confine him to a walking boot for at least 2-to-4 weeks. It's unlikely that Alkins will get the first crack at taking Hutchison's spot in the starting five at small forward, however, as Shaquille Harrison, Wayne Selden and Jabari Parker are probably more viable candidates to fill that void in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Alkins contributed six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes Wednesday in the G League Windy City Bulls' 118-109 loss to the Wisconsin Herd.

EDGE Analysis

After hitting double figures in the scoring column in his first four G League outings of January, Alkins has topped out at seven points over the last three games. For the season, the undrafted rookie out of Arizona is averaging 13.9 points (on 44.6 percent shooting from the field), 6.0 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.5 treys and 0.9 steals in 28.5 minutes per game with Windy City. Even with the parent club in rebuilding mode, Alkins doesn't look at NBA ready at this point and probably won't play meaningful minutes for Chicago in the second half of the campaign.

Alkins was recalled from the G League on Saturday, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Zach LaVine (ankle) expected to miss multiple games, the Bulls will opt for some additional backcourt depth by bringing up Alkins. In the G League this season, he's averaged 15.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steal while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from distance.

Alkins struggled to deliver two points (0-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 91-72 road loss to the Westchester Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Yes, Alkins missed all twelve of his field goal attempts. Through 12 games, Alkins has collected nine starts and is averaging 13.4 points and 5.3 boards per game, including Tuesday's clunker in Westchester. As a team, the Windy City Bulls shot only 25.8 percent from the field from Tuesday, so all the blame for the ugly loss can not be directed towards Alkins.
