CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan says the team’s first-round draft pick hasn’t been a part of his conversations with the front office and ownership ahead of next month’s NBA trade deadline. Chicago has won four of five after its 114-110 victory over San Antonio, leaving the Bulls with a 17-19 record. Chicago owes its first-round selection in the 2025 draft to San Antonio as part of the 2021 DeMar DeRozan trade, but the pick is top-10 protected.
