According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, Vucevic is nearing a three-year $60 million contract extension with the Bulls.

A 12-year NBA veteran, Vucevic averaged 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game last season. His career averages are similar - 17.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.

Before becoming a free agent, Vucevic played on a four-year $100 million deal he signed with the Orlando Magic in 2019. He was traded to the Bulls in 2021 in exchange for Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and two first-round picks.

After finishing the 2022-23 NBA regular season in 9th place, the Bulls were eliminated in the Play-in Tournament by the eventual NBA finalists Miami Heat.
