Restricted free agent Josh Giddey has committed to a four-year, $100 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, agent Daniel Moldovan of Lighthouse Sports Management told ESPN on Tuesday. The deal is fully guaranteed and includes no player or team options.
The Bulls confirmed Giddey’s new agreement Tuesday without disclosing terms. At 22, the 6-foot-8 guard now anchors Chicago’s backcourt after joining the club in a 2024 offseason trade that sent Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Giddey is coming off a career-best campaign, producing 14.6 points per game and setting personal highs in rebounds (8.1), assists (7.2), steals (1.2) and three-point accuracy (37.8%). His seven triple-doubles were the second-highest single-season total in franchise history, trailing only Michael Jordan’s 15 in 1988-89.
Following the All-Star break and the departure of All-Star guard Zach LaVine, Giddey elevated his play to 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists while shooting 50% overall and 46% from beyond the arc. On March 22 against the Los Angeles Lakers, he became the first player since steals were officially tracked in 1973-74 to log at least 15 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds and eight steals in a game.
Chicago closed the season on a 15-5 run to secure a play-in tournament spot; Giddey appeared in 13 of those contests, averaging 20.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists despite playing the final month with a muscle tear in the palm of his shooting hand.
The Thunder selected Giddey sixth overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. On Jan. 2, 2022, he became the youngest player in league history to record a triple-double, posting 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds against the Dallas Mavericks at 19 years and 84 days old.
Giddey is the second restricted free agent to finalize a deal this September, following Nets guard Cam Thomas, who accepted a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer last week. Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga and Philadelphia’s Quentin Grimes remain unsigned amid a market constrained by limited salary-cap space; the Brooklyn Nets have held the bulk of the league’s available cap room throughout the offseason.
