What happened: The Chicago Bulls announced they have extended forward-center Zach Collins. The team confirmed the move officially, keeping the frontcourt piece under contract heading into the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Retaining Collins gives Chicago continuity and frontcourt depth as it shapes its roster for the upcoming season. Locking in a rotation big before free agency fully unfolds removes one question mark from the Bulls' offseason planning.

What to watch: Watch for how Collins fits into Chicago's frontcourt rotation and whether the Bulls make additional roster moves this offseason.
