Bulls, Billy Donovan agree to contract extension: Source
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has inked an extension with the franchise, per a team source. Donovan will enter his sixth season at the helm, having amassed a 195-205 record since 2020. The Bulls have finished the past three seasons in the NBA's Play-In Tournament. Donovan, who will be a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame 2025 induction class, was notably pursued by the New York Knicks during their coaching search before they were ultimately turned away. Negotiations between the Bulls and Donovan reportedly preceded the Knicks' interest. Advertisement Following the 2023-24 season, Donovan's staff was shaken up, with assistants Chris Fleming and Maurice Cheeks let go. Wes Unseld Jr. and Dan Craig were later brought in. Donovan's time with the Bulls began following six seasons as head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, which concluded in 2020, when Donovan was named the NBA co-Coach of the Year. 'It became apparent that we couldn't provide (Donovan) the information on the future direction of the team over the next several seasons to give him the level of clarity that he understandably desires at this stage of his career,' Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement after mutually parting ways with Donovan following the expiration of his contract. Now, Donovan will head a team that's made a single rotational change — trading guard Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Isaac Okoro — since May's ninth-place finish, which resulted in a first-round out in the Play-In Tournament. Donovan, who also coached two NCAA championship teams at Florida, is set to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in September.

Former Boston Celtics draft pick signs two-way contract with Houston Rockets
On Thursday, July 24, the Boston Celtics waived JD Davison. The Alabama product had been with the franchise for three years, winning the G League MVP in 2025. However, it hasn't taken Davison long to find a new home in the NBA, as on Saturday, July 26, he signed a two-way deal with the Houston Rockets, per the NBA's transaction logs. Davison will likely spend most of the season suiting up for the Rio Grand Valley Vipers, but will undoubtedly have his sights set on cracking Ime Udoka's rotation. Unlike his time in Boston, there could be some scope for him to earn minutes within Udoka's second unit. Outside of Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday, there isn't much depth at the guard position, which could give Davion a clearer path forward. Throughout his three-year tenure with the Celtics, Davison suited up for 36 games, averaging 1.9 points and 0.9 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest. He will undoubtedly be hoping to showcase more of his skill set in Houston, where the team's style of play better suits what he brings to the table. Celtics fans can now continue to follow Boston's former draft pick and his development out in the Western Conference, as Davison continues to pursue an NBA career.

Can the Boston Celtics Summer League standouts crack Joe Mazzulla's rotation?
Joe Mazzulla faces a tough task in the upcoming season. Since being hired as the Boston Celtics head coach, Mazzulla has led a championship-level roster. Now, for the first time in his tenure, his remit will be to develop some of the younger talent under contract, either to help them cement themselves as part of the team's future or to help build up their trade value. Brad Stevens has given Mazzulla multiple young players to work with, from Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh, who have been with the team for a year or more, to Luka Garza and Josh Minott, who are looking for a bigger opportunity in the NBA. And that's before we factor in the latest round of rookie additions, highlighted by 19-year-old Hugo Gonzalez. In a recent episode of NESN's "Hold My Banner" podcast, Adam Pellerin and Ountae Campbell discuss whether Walsh and Gonzalez — two players who thrived in Las Vegas Summer League — can find a way of breaking into Mazzulla's game day rotation, and if so, what type of role they could command.
