Summary
Chicago is expected to choose a new head coach as soon as Monday, aiming to have Billy Donovan’s replacement in place before the NBA draft.
Four finalists remain in the search: Bulls assistant Wes Unseld Jr., Atlanta assistant Ryan Schmidt, Minnesota assistant Micah Nori and Portland assistant Tiago Splitter.
Unseld Jr. appears to be the front-runner after interviews, bringing prior head-coaching experience from Washington, where he led the Wizards from 2021 to 2024.
The opening followed Donovan’s exit after 6 seasons and a 226-252 record that produced 1 playoff appearance and 3 straight play-in berths.
