Matas Buzelis Chicago Bulls 2025-2026 NBA Tip-Off Game Worn Association Edition Jersey | Special Edition 'All-Rookie Second Team' Trophy Patch

Introduced for the 2025–26 NBA season, the Trophy Patch is a new symbol of recognition worn only once during each honoree’s first game of the year. Positioned above the Nike Swoosh, the patch mirrors the design of the player’s award trophy, marking the first time individual achievements have been celebrated directly on-uniform. Only 35 special Trophy Patches were issued league-wide.

This home ‘Association Edition’ jersey features the All-Rookie Second Team Patch and was worn by Matas Buzelis on October 22, 2025, during the NBA Tip-Off, when the Chicago Bulls played the Detroit Pistons. 

Buzelis finished with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 blocks. The Bulls beat the Pistons, 115-111. 

Buzelis grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and was drafted by his hometown Bulls in the 2024 NBA Draft. Defensively, Buzelis stood out with 75 blocks, putting him among the top rookies league-wide. On the offensive end, he showed promising range, knocking down 96 three-pointers—making him one of the few rookies in NBA history with at least 75 blocks and 95 made threes. 

With Buzelis’ size and feel for the game, he will undoubtedly be an explosive playmaker on both sides of the ball for the exciting, young Bulls team.

At the time of cataloging, Buzelis has career averages of 9.5 points per game, 3.8 rebounds per game, and 1.1 assists per game.
