PHOENIX — The Chicago Bulls signed coach Billy Donovan to a contract extension this summer ahead of the 2022-23 season, retaining him for at least four more years.
The Bulls confirmed the signing, which The Athletic initially reported Tuesday. Donovan’s original contract ran through the 2023-24 season, and the extension reportedly will increase that by “several more years.”
Donovan, 57, has gone 86-88 in his first two-plus seasons in Chicago, leading the Bulls to their first playoff berth in five years last season. His tenure has included a rebuild of the roster around forward DeMar DeRozan and guard Zach LaVine, who signed a $215 million maximum contract in the offseason.
