The Chicago Bulls announced they have reached an agreement on a multiyear contract extension with guard Josh Giddey. Financial terms were not released by the team, but ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the deal is worth four years and $100 million.
Giddey, 22, arrived from the Oklahoma City Thunder in June 2024 and immediately became a key starter in Chicago. In his first season with the Bulls, the 6-foot-8 playmaker averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists while starting 69 of 70 games.
He registered 30 double-doubles and seven triple-doubles, the highest totals by a Bulls guard since Michael Jordan. Giddey also joined LeBron James and Nikola Jokić as the only players last season to reach at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists.
According to the Bulls, Giddey became just the second player in franchise history—alongside Jordan—to post averages of at least 14 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in a single season. His production climbed after the All-Star break, as he averaged 18.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 7.8 assists over the final 30 games while shooting nearly 44 percent from beyond the arc.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has career averages of 14.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists across 280 games with the Thunder and Bulls.
