Ryan Arcidiacono is getting another shot to stick in the NBA.

According to a report on Monday by Sean Highkin‏ of TheAthletic.com, Arcidiacono has signed a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls. Highkin reports that the deal is for one season.

Arcidiacono, the former Villanova star and champion, played for the Bulls during the Las Vegas Summer League. The point guard averaged 5.8 points on 41.7 percent shooting from the field and 44.4 percent shooting from three-point range. Arcidiacono also recorded 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in five games (three starts) for the Bulls in Vegas. 

Earlier this month, Arcidiacono signed with Juve Caserta in Italy's Lega Basket Serie A. However, Highkin writes that the club was “recently excluded from the Italian league Serie A due to financial concerns.”

After going undrafted in 2016, Arcidiacono joined the Spurs for summer league and preseason action. He was waived during the preseason but was able to latch on with the Austin Spurs, San Antonio’s G-League affiliate.

In 47 games (34 starts) for the Austin Spurs in 2016-17, Arcidiacono averaged 6.5 points, 3.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes a night. He shot 47.2 percent from the field, 42.1 percent from three-point range and 81.4 percent from the free throw line.
