After falling out of the NBA for a year, Derrick Favors is getting back on the basketball court this season in Chicago.The longtime center signed a training camp contract with the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday. Coach Billy Donovan said the team plans to bring him full-time on the Windy City Bulls — the team’s G-League affiliate — for the 2023-24 season.“I’ve always had respect for him, just being in the West with him for that period of time when he was at Utah,” Donovan said. “He still obviously loves to play. Having a veteran guy around those guys will be very helpful.”Favors hasn’t played a game since Feb. 24, 2022 — a stark reminder of the brutal swiftness with which a player can fall off an NBA roster despite high expectations when they entered the league.The 6-foot-9 center was one of the most promising talents in the NBA when the New Jersey Nets selected him with the No. 3 draft pick in 2010. Favors made his NBA ...
