The Bulls have exercised their 2025-26 rookie-scale team option on wing Dalen Terry, league sources tell Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.
Chicago had until Oct. 31 to determine whether it wanted to pick up the option. The move means that Terry, who is already under contract for 2024-25, will earn a guaranteed $5,399,118 in 2025-26, which is the fourth and final season of his rookie contract.
The 18th pick of the 2022 draft, Terry didn’t play much as a rookie two seasons ago, averaging just 5.6 MPG in 38 appearances with the Bulls. He earned more playing time during his second season, though, averaging 3.1 PPG, 1.9 RPG and 1.4 APG in 59 games in 2023-24 (11.5 MPG).
Terry, who played two seasons of college ball at Arizona, was viewed as a point guard entering the draft but has mostly played on the wing professionally due to the Bulls already having ball-handlers on the roster. At 6-foot-, he has the size to defend multiple positions.
