An NBA insider further reports that Chicago never truly had significant negotiations to restructure its starting center's deal.

The 32-year-old Montenegrin center is set to make $22 million in the last year on his current contract, all that remains of the four-year, $100 million contract he signed in 2019.

Vucevic averages 16.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists over 27 appearances this season.

Nikola Vucevic was selected 16th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2011 NBA draft, where he spent just one season. For the majority of his career, he played for the Orlando Magic (2012-21), which traded him to the Bulls during the 2020-21 season.

He is a two-time All-Star in 2019 and 2021.
