Donovan, who took over as head coach in 2020, is entering his sixth season with the Bulls in 2025–26. With over 800 NBA games under his belt, including his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, he brings valuable experience and a steady presence to a team still trying to find its footing in the Eastern Conference.
Last season, the Bulls finished ninth in the East with a 39–43 record and missed the playoffs, falling short in the play-in tournament. While the results have been mixed in recent years, Donovan’s ability to manage a roster that blends young talent with seasoned veterans has kept him in good standing with the organization.
The extension reflects the Bulls’ belief that Donovan remains the right person to lead the franchise forward.
