The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone, and some former Kentucky Wildcats are on the move.

In one case, two former Wildcats are now on the same team in the Windy City.

Nick Richards and Rob Dillingham were both traded to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Richards was actually originally traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, but his time in Milwaukee was, let’s just say, brief after a third team was added to the deal, involving Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Chicago.

Richards averaged 14.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game in his third and final season at Kentucky in 2019-20, a season halted before Kentucky even took the floor at the SEC Tournament in Nashville due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After forgoing his senior season to enter the 2020 NBA Draft, he was drafted 42nd overall by the Charlotte Hornets. He played a little over four seasons with the Hornets before spending parts of the last two seasons in Phoenix with Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns.

In addition, Rob Dillingham was traded to Chicago from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Wildcat averaged 4.5 points as a rookie with the Timberwolves, a team that advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2025.

Dillingham was traded to the Timberwolves on draft night after being originally drafted by the San Antonio Spurs. He was the SEC Sixth Man of the Year in 2024, averaging 15.2 points and shooting 44.4% from 3-point range.

Here’s to hoping we get to see both Cats shine in Chicago.
