Former Providence standout Jaylin Sellers has agreed to a two‑way contract with the Chicago Bulls, bringing his 18.3‑point average and 42.9% three‑point shooting to the NBA roster.

Sellers, who spent a single season with the Friars, is expected to provide depth at the guard position as the Bulls look to bolster their perimeter scoring.

Coaching Changes on the Horizon

Christian Pino, who completed five years as an assistant at Alabama, is set to join the Providence men’s basketball coaching staff, adding his experience to the program’s development efforts.

Meanwhile, the University of Rhode Island’s women’s basketball team will welcome four new players for the upcoming 2026‑27 season, signaling a fresh infusion of talent for the Rams.

On the other side of the state, Bryant University’s women’s program is undergoing transition, with Abbey Lindsey heading to Division II and Azanah Campbell moving to the junior college ranks.

The moves come as the basketball landscape in Rhode Island continues to evolve, with former players and coaches shifting between collegiate and professional opportunities.
