Former San Antonio Spurs and LA Clippers guard Josh Primo signed with the Chicago Bulls earlier today. But just a few hours later, he has been waived.

NBA fans couldn't believe what they were reading and quickly pulled the jokes, especially those making fun of the short time Primo spent as a member of the six-time NBA champion team.

"8 hour contract is wild 💀," one fan said.

"Damn. Dude was a bull for 7 hours lol," another fan said.
"This gotta be a record," another fan wrote.

Others connected Josh Primo's exposing incident to Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey's alleged relationship with an underage girl.

"Giddey and Primo would’ve been menace to society s**t," one fan wrote.
"I blame Josh Diddy," one fan wrote, referencing Josh Giddey and the under-fire hip-hop mogul Diddy, who has been indicted on serious charges.
"They caught him hanging out w Giddey after practice"

Josh Primo entered the NBA in 2021 as the No. 12 pick by the San Antonio Spurs. One year later, he was waived by the team after allegedly exposing himself to several women within the organization. He was seeking mental health improvement due to trauma, a statement read at the time.

The Spurs' sports psychologist filed a lawsuit against the organization and Primo, claiming that the player exposed himself to her multiple times. The charges of indecent exposure were declined in 2023 due to insufficient evidence.

Bulls waive Josh Primo amid ankle injury

Per KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, the Bulls waiving Primo was expected as the guard had an injury, which he is set to rehab.

Jamal Collier of ESPN reported that Primo had a stress fracture in the navicular bone of his left ankle that he suffered last season and required surgery this offseason.

Both reporters expect Primo to continue his rehab with Chicago's G-League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.

Josh Primo has played 56 games in the NBA since he was drafted in 2021. He played 54 games for the Spurs, averaging 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

After he was waived, it would take a year for Primo to return to the NBA. The LA Clippers signed him on a two-way deal. He was suspended four games by the league before the Clips converted his contract to a regular one in November.

He was waived back in April before the Bulls offered him an Exhibit 10 deal that did not last a single day.
