The second installment of Michael Jordan’s exclusive interview with the NBA on NBC dropped Tuesday night.
In this week’s episode, Jordan shared his thoughts on “load management,” which has become a staple for teams over the past handful of years. Many organizations will intentionally rest their star talent in hopes of avoiding injury trouble and keeping their legs fresh. To little surprise, this trend has not sat well with the best to ever do it.
Jordan suited up for all 82 games nin...

Ayo Dosunmu: Most Improved Player? Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve said that about the Illinois legend in his NBA career, but this year it looks legit. After a 21-point outburst in the Bulls’ win over the Hawks on Monday, Chicago is 3-0 and Ayo is red-hot to start off year five. He’s averaging 16.7 […]

The Atlanta Hawks (1-3) had their full starting lineup for the first time since opening night on Monday against the Chicago Bulls (3-0). It showed early.
Atlanta’s offense had no trouble to begin the night. They dropped 18 points on the Bulls in the first 6 minutes of action, and 10 of those points came from recently acquired big man Kristaps Porzingis. By the end of the first quarter, they were shooting 50 percent from the field and had scored a season-high 35 points on the Bulls’ defens...

The Indiana Pacers have pulled a fast one on the Chicago Bulls.
On the same day the organization officially named Mac McClung as part of its G League roster, the Indiana Pacers have reportedly pryed him away. ESPN’s Shams Charania announced that McClung will sign a multi-year contract with the defending Eastern Conference champion. The team has reportedly waived former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman in order to make room for McClung.
A three-time Slam Dunk champion, McClung was exp...

The Chicago Bulls could be without their lead guard as they try to stay undefeated on Monday night.
According to t he latest official injury report, Josh Giddey remains questionable for the team’s third regular-season game of the year. Giddey is dealing with a sprain in his right finger that he seemingly suffered during Saturday’s win over the Orlando Magic.
Giddey scored 21 points with 8 rebounds and assists in the team’s win before sitting out the second half of the fourth quarter....

Only four teams are undefeated after the first six days of the NBA season: The Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Chicago Bulls. One is the defending NBA champions. One has a player like we’ve never seen before. One has a former MVP. And the other has a slightly above-average starting point guard!
I think most would say the Chicago Bulls have had a surprising start to the 2025-26 season. Facing off against two projected playoff teams with former No. 1 pi...

After a nice trial run last week, the Chicago Bulls are about to sprint into the 2025-26 season. They are in store for a busy and difficult week, beginning with a matchup against one of the Eastern Conference’s darkhorse contenders. Then, after welcoming Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan back into the United Center for a revenge game, they will finish the week with two straight against the New York Knicks.
As great as the 2-0 start has been, this week will tell us A LOT about who this team re...

During the Chicago Bulls’ Media Day, Matas Buzelis made his individual goal for the 2025-26 season very clear: “I want to win Most Improved Player this year. That’s what I’m striving for.”
The forward has oozed confidence since well before he heard his name called on draft night in June of 2024. As far as he’s concerned, there isn’t a mountain he can’t climb, including the summit that is one of the NBA’s most prestigious awards.
To his credit, all Buzelis has done is back up his conf...

THE FIVE BEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: CHICAGO BULLS BASKETBALL IS BACK!
The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. While I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that exhilarating of an opening game, there is no question that it felt like fans were in store for something big when first flipping the channel to NBC. The league’s return to the network after a two-decade-long hiatus...

It’s the time of year when I spend a lot of time thinking about how I need more blankets and pillows around the house because comfort and warmth take precedence when the temps dip.
Before we dive into some Bears stuff, this feels like a good spot to point out that basketball season is here. The Bulls are back. And while the franchise seems like it is in a perpetual rut, BN’s coverage is still superb. So be sure to check out our friends at BN Bulls here , as well as on Facebook , Twitter...

Michael Jordan is BACK!
The GOAT made his debut for the new NBA on NBC at halftime of the season opener between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets. Jordan’s segment , “MJ: Insights To Excellence,” will air throughout the season during certain NBA on NBC broadcasts. NBC’s last NBA rights deal ended following the 2001-02 season, but they were the main broadcast partner of The Association during Jordan and the Bulls’ dynasty run.

I want to start things off by giving a shoutout to Mario Herron over at ESPN Chicago and Bleav. He welcomed me on the latest episode of his Bulls pod for a little season preview of sorts. We talked A LOT about the Coby White news and what that could mean for the start of the season, as well as some of the reasons why fans can actually feel cautiously optimistic. If you have some free time and want a good rundown of where thi...

The regular season hasn’t even started yet, and Matas Buzelis is already turning heads!
The Chicago Bulls’ second-year forward came into this season with high expectations. While head coach Billy Donovan tried to start things off slowly, it was only a matter of time before Buzelis moved into the starting lineup. He proceeded to look like one of the top rookies from the 2024 draft class, as his versatile two-way impact helped lead Chicago to a winning record over its final 32 games.
