As the Chicago Bulls look to turn the page, they’ll opt for some stability on their bench.
The Bulls have reportedly agreed to a multi-year contract extension with head coach Billy Donovan, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Sunday.
The exact terms of the extension were not reported.
According to Charania, the Bulls and Donovan’s camp had begun negotiating the extension at the end of last season.
Over his five seasons in Chicago, Donovan has a 195-205 record but has led the Bulls to the playoffs only once, losing in the first round to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2022.
Prior to joining the Bulls, Donovan spent five seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, leading them to a 243-157 record with five straight post-season appearances.
Donovan is one of only eight current NBA head coaches with at least 800 regular-season games under his belt. He’s also the only current head coach enshrined in the Hall of Fame as a coach after being selected as part of the Class of 2025.
The New York Knicks had previously pursued Donovan this off-season before settling on Mike Brown.
