The Bulls acquired Ivey in a trade with the Detroit Pistons last month. He appeared in four games for the Bulls before being shut down for the rest of the season due to a left knee injury.

Ivey was drafted with the No. 5 pick in 2022 and featured early for a rebuilding Pistons team before knee issues limited him to just 30 games in 2024-25 and kept him out for several games this season.

He did not come to an agreement on a contract extension with Detroit last summer, making him a free agent heading into this offseason.
