Bulls play 3 of their 4 preseason games at United Center

The Bulls' four-game preseason slate includes three home games, a reunion, a rematch and possible return of a No. 1 draft pick.

The exhibition slate begins with the New Orleans Pelicans Oct. 4 at the United Center. The Pelicans haven't announced their preseason schedule, but this game could mark a return to action for Zion Williamson, who didn't play last season due to a broken bone in his right foot.

Next up on Oct. 7 is a visit from the Denver Nuggets, the team that used to employ Bulls director of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas.

The Bulls visit Toronto two days later, then finish with a playoff rematch against Milwaukee Oct. 11 at the United Center.

The NBA regular season schedule is typically released in early August.
