Bulls Coach Billy Donovan to Meet CEO on Future During Front-Office Reset

Ownership signals it wants Donovan to stay to give candidates a clear mandate.

Overview

  • The Bulls dismissed top executives Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley last week and launched a search for new basketball leadership.
  • Donovan, who called himself at a “pivot point” before Sunday’s season finale, plans to sit down with CEO Michael Reinsdorf this week to discuss whether he remains head coach.
  • Reinsdorf has said he wants Donovan to continue and that executive candidates should be open to keeping him as part of the team’s direction.
  • Donovan said he is committed to Chicago and is not pursuing other jobs, and he remains under contract on a recent multiyear extension reported last summer.
  • Some outlets have floated possible scenarios if he leaves, including outside interest and names like Sam Cassell or Taylor Jenkins, though those options are speculative.
