Our 24-35 Chicago Bulls are looking to wrap up their 2025-26 season with as few additional victories as possible. They have yet to win since they netted eight second-round draft picks and one swap in seven trade deadline week moves. In fact, their ongoing 10-game losing skid represents their worst in seven years, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Next up for Chicago is a matchup on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland, incidentally, will convey its first-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to Chicago — should that pick land outside the lottery. Thus, Bulls fans should be doubly rooting for their team to drop their 11th straight, as Chicago would improve its shot at a great pick of its own, and the Trail Blazers would bolster their play-in tournament standing.
Here’s the latest Bulls buzz.

Let’s start our morning with something positive, shall we?

— MLB (@MLB) February 25, 2026“That was one of the coolest days of my life,” Crow-Armstrong said. “D-Rose was big in my house growing up. I’m learning what he really meant to the city. He gave me a lot his time one day. He just reminded me that I’m meant to be there. He really just took the time to get to know me and hear my story and it almost felt like he had an answer for everything… He was Chicago, and is Chicago, really. But that guy is everything and more that I wanted him to be.”
New Chicago guard Rob Dillingham, the No. 8 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has been getting far more of a runway than he had on a contending Minnesota Timberwolves squad over the last season-and-a-half. Still, he hasn’t looked great so far. Across seven games with the Bulls so far, Dillingham has been averaging 7.6 points on a paltry .392/.182/.786 slash line, plus 3.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 20.0 minutes per. He’s an intriguing downhill player, but his conversion rate has been… disappointing. During a recent chat with The Chicago Tribune‘s Julia Poe, Dillingham reflected on his second chance to make a first impression in the league.“I’ve got an opportunity here,” Dillingham said. “At least here I’m getting on the floor, you know? It’s up to me to perform to the best of my opportunity, and then from there it’ll keep growing and growing.”
Bulls forward Matas Buzelis, one of the few bright spots and reasons for hope on the team’s roster this weekend, broke down during his postgame locker room conversation after Coby White’s Charlotte Hornets obliterated Chicago 131-99 on Tuesday. Buzelis scored a career-most 32 points, albeit to no avail. He acknowledged the impact the team’s tanking outlook and 10-game skid have had on him, as captured by The Athletic‘s Joel Lorenzi.Matas Buzelis, distraught over Bulls’ losing streak, loses his train of thought here when asked about his shot diet/development. “I’m sorry, I just…I wanna win. “I wanna win games. That’s what everything is about, winning games. That will come. I’m a worker.” pic.twitter.com/wcLK94mYqm
— Joel Lorenzi (@JoelXLorenzi) February 25, 2026 All these Bulls moves have led some to wonder about Billy Donovan’s coaching future in town, Johnson notes on his show “The Fastbreak.” The recently-extended Hall of Famer is clearly a win-now guy, and he’s stuck on a team that’s clearly designed to win later. Johnson indicates that Donovan intends to chat after the season with ownership and management about their vision for the Bulls, though Johnson suggests that Donovan may be more open to a rebuild now than he had appeared to be while with the Oklahoma City Thunder. White spoke with a scrum of reporters Tuesday. Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times teased the former Bulls fan favorite, joking that he could have been sent to, say, another miserable situation with the Sacramento Kings (who are on a 16-game losing streak of their own) rather than a scrappy up-and-comer like Charlotte.Joe Cowley: “is there any appreciation of ‘hey, they could have sent me to Sacramento’”.Coby White: “Yo, come on bro”nasty stray ?pic.twitter.com/rC6kwti9z3
— BullsMuse (@BullsMuse_) February 25, 2026 Among the Bulls’ few healthy new additions, it seems that one might already — perhaps — have his next team lined up for the 2026-27 season. Per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, buzz abounds that power forward/center Guerschon Yabusele may have a deal in place to ditch the NBA for an unnamed club abroad. The 30-year-old was shipped to Chicago by the New York Knicks in exchange for little-used former Bulls forward Dalen Terry. New York had inked Yabusele to a two-year, $10 million free agent contract last summer. But he underperformed, and quickly fell out of new coach Mike Brown’s rotation. According to Bondy, Brown recently acknowledged that the Frenchman didn’t fit what the Knicks were striving to accomplish this season.“The position he’s shown he’s best in in the NBA — the small-ball center spot — we just didn’t have the minutes consistently for him to be there,” Brown said. “And then when he was at the four. For us, because of our centers, the matchups weren’t always there. So we had to pick and choose when he was on the floor and how we were going to play him.”
In non-Chicago news, Danny Ainge’s Utah Jazz appear to be taking no chances when it comes to tanking for the fourth straight season. Former Bulls lottery pick-turned-Utah All-Star Lauri Markkanen supposedly injured his right ankle and hip during a team practice, according to Kevin Reynolds of the Salt Lake Tribune. He is slated to undergo imaging and could miss some games as the season winds down. Markkanen would be just the latest Jazz frontcourt player to be sidelined, as All-Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. and centers Walker Kessler and Jusuf Nurkic are out for the year with various maladies.
