2023–24 Chicago Bulls season

The 2023–24 Chicago Bulls season was the 58th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They failed to improve on their 40–42 record from last year, suffering a second consecutive losing record, at 39–43.

The team started the season with an abysmal 5-14 record through the first 19 games. However, they ended the season 34-29 in their last 63 games. This run was led by Coby white and Ayo Dosunmu having breakout seasons[1][2] with White finishing second in NBA Most Improved Player voting. The team also led the league in clutch wins at 27.[3] This was mostly due to veteran player Demar Derozan leading the league in minutes played and scoring the second-most clutch points in the regular season.[4] Derozan was also runner up for NBA Clutch Player of the Year narrowly losing to Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry.

On April 1, 2024, despite losing to the Atlanta Hawks 113–101, due to having a 2–1 record against them in the regular season, the Bulls were able to secure their second consecutive postseason with a play-in berth. The team finished 39–43 and was the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference. In the Play-In Tournament, they defeated the Hawks in the first stage but fell to the 8th-seeded Miami Heat in the second stage for the second consecutive time to end their season.

Draft

The Bulls entered this draft with no draft picks.[5] They initially had a second round pick, but it was forfeited due to tampering violations with respect to free agency.
