Talen Horton-Tucker Rumors

When Talen Horton-Tucker walks into the United Center, it’s more than just another arena. It’s home. It’s where the echoes of his childhood ring from the 300 level to the locker room. Where Bulls legends once roamed and where, now, a hometown kid is adding to the story. The Chicago native has gone from watching Bulls games on WGN in his living room to lacing up for his city, and this season, that connection is deeper than ever. Asked what’s sparked the Bulls’ midseason turnaround, Horton-Tucker didn’t hesitate. “Just the way we’re playing together,” he said. “Just being able to stay united through the ups and downs of the season.” That unity has been critical. Through injuries, tough stretches, and outside doubt, the Bulls have fought to remain relevant in the tightly contested Eastern Conference. For THT, it’s not just about wins and losses—it’s about representing Chicago with heart.

And the pride of playing for his hometown team? That hits different. “It’s a dream,” Horton-Tucker said, smiling. “And being able to live your dream to play for your home team is super fun and being able to do it and being part of the success is good!” He grew up watching Bulls basketball from every angle—before, during, and after the Derrick Rose era. THT might not have seen Michael Jordan live, but he saw the legacy in real time through the eyes of his family. “The Bulls I used to watch on WGN (Channel 9) in my house almost every day the Bulls came on; pre-Derrick Rose, during Derrick Rose, after Derrick Rose,” he recalled. “I’m a 2000’s kid so I didn’t Jordan play live but, my mom and my brother would show and explain it to me.”
