Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey signed a four-year, $100 million extension on Tuesday.

Giddey, 22, averaged 14.6 points along with career highs of 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 70 games with the Bulls in 2024-25.

He had seven triple-doubles and 30 double-doubles last season after being acquired from the Thunder in a trade that sent Alex Caruso to Oklahoma City.

A restricted free agent in limbo entering training camp next month, Giddey had the option of accepting the Bulls’ one-year, $11.14 million qualifying offer and entering unrestricted free agency in July 2026.

Oklahoma City decided to part with Giddey because of his unreliable perimeter shooting and off-court concerns around allegations that he maintained a relationship with a minor. However, NBA and Newport Beach (Calif.) police investigations resulted in no charges.

He shot a career-best 37.8 percent from 3-point range with the Bulls and made a career-high 105 three-pointers.

The No. 6 overall selection the 2021 NBA Draft by the Thunder placed himself in rare company with his overall production through four seasons in the league. In 280 career games, the Australian has averaged 14.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.9 steals.

With 3,942 points, 2,100 rebounds and 1,703 assists, Giddey is one of eight players all-time to reach those minimum thresholds after four seasons along with Larry Bird, Luka Doncic, Grant Hill, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Oscar Roberston and Ben Simmons.
