The Bulls will have an extra man on their roster for Wednesday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. This morning at the Advocate Center, coach Fred Hoiberg held a press conference announcing the signing of Bennie “Trey” Flowers to a one-day contract. The Bulls teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help Bennie live out his lifelong dream of being a member of his favorite NBA team.

Flowers, 17, survived an eight-hour liver transplant in the spring of 2015. The Kansas City native now lives in Portland, Oregon but idolized Michael Jordan growing up. He’s also a huge fan of current Bulls star and Chicago native Dwyane Wade.

“I’m excited to be a part of the organization. I’ve always admired Dwyane Wade and am eager to experience the game at the United Center. They tell me I’m a fighter because of what I’ve overcome. I look forward to bringing that fighting spirit to the Bulls.” – Bennie “Trey” Flowers

Flowers will spend the day taking a tour of the Bulls’ training facility, then hang out with his new teammates at the United Center before they tip off against the Nets.

Sounds like a tough kid! Hopefully the Bulls are blowing out the pathetic Nets by 20+ points tonight so he can see some action on the court in the 4th quarter.
