CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls hired Billy Donovan as their new coach Tuesday.
The 55-year-old Donovan spent the last five seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He replaces Jim Boylen, who was fired after the Bulls finished 22-43 and were one of the eight teams that didn’t qualify for the NBA’s restart at Walt Disney World.
Donovan went 243-157 as coach of the Thunder and reached the playoffs each season.
