Aside from the mention of contract extensions themselves, no additional details are available regarding the length or financial terms of their new deals at this time. During their five-year tenure, the trio of Karnisovas, Eversley, and Donovan holds a win-loss record of 196 wins to 205 losses, which includes multiple play-in exits and just one playoff appearance.
Additionally, the Bulls led the league in attendance for four of those five years, according to Basketball Reference; the only exception was during the first year after the return from the COVID-19 shutdown. Eversley is set to address the media on June 25th, following the 2025 NBA Draft.
