A recent lottery pick from the Duke basketball program is packing his bags.
As of Thursday’s March trade madness, Duke basketball product Wendell Carter Jr. is no longer with the Chicago Bulls (19-24). That’s the franchise that drafted the 6-foot-10, 270-pound big man at No. 7 overall in 2018.
Instead, as ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported roughly four hours before the NBA’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, Carter is heading to the Orlando Magic as part of a somewhat surprising trade.
