Bulls pick up 2024-25 option on former first-round pick

The Bulls have exercised their team option on Dalen Terry for the 2024-25 season, the team confirmed Tuesday, via K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.

The 18th overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Arizona, Terry appeared in just 38 games as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per night.

The 6’7″ wing has expressed, on multiple occasions, a desire to earn a more regular role for Chicago in his second NBA season, but that hasn’t materialized in the early going — he has logged just five minutes in two appearances so far and was assigned to the Windy City Bulls in the G League for training camp.

Terry will earn approximately $3.35 this season and now has his $3.51M salary for 2024-25 guaranteed as well. The Bulls will have to decide by October 31, 2024 whether or not to pick up his fourth-year option for ’25-26, which is worth just shy of $5.4M.

Rookie scale options decisions for ’24-25 are due by the end of the day on Tuesday. You can view all those decisions right here.
