ROGERS — A 2017-2018 season that began for Bobby Portis with an eight game suspension has the former Arkansas standout set for a new contract. Portis completed the season as the best of his three-year Chicago career.

Portis (6-11, 248) was on hand for the Mike Anderson Foundation Golf Tournament in Rogers Monday. He found a niche for himself as the Bulls’ sixth man while averaging 13.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 22.5 minutes of action per contest while playing in 72 games. All were career highs.

“I started to see my game improve probably about my fifth game back when I had 20 (points) and (10 rebounds),” Portis said.
