The Chicago Bulls' interest in Bennedict Mathurin is "overstated," sources told Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic.

The Bulls continue to emphasize the need for roster and cap flexibility, and are not interested in long-term contracts.

The Bulls currently have a $9.4 million room exception available.

The Pelicans have also been linked with Mathurin.

Mathurin averaged 17.6 points and 5.4 rebounds last season.
