The Chicago Bulls signed rookie forward Ronald Dupree for the rest of the season Wednesday.

Dupree has played in 11 games for the Bulls, with five starts. He's averaging 9.2 points and 3.8 rebounds a game, and is shooting almost 45 percent from the floor. He has scored in double figures five times.

Dupree signed his first 10-day contract Jan. 7 after averaging a team-best 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 32.2 minutes for the Huntsville Flight of the National Basketball Development League. He made his NBA debut later that night against the Miami Heat, and led the Bulls with 18 points and nine rebounds.
