An icy cold breeze blew through the United Center as the Chicago Bulls fired president Artūras Karnišovas and general manager Marc Eversley. Yankee Scores reports

Michael Reinsdorf made the announcement on Monday, April 6, 2026, bringing an end to a disappointing six years defined by broken promises and lost potential.

Six Years of Underperformance

After promising great things upon their arrival in 2020, Karnišovas and Eversley oversaw a record of 224 wins and 254 losses and led their side to just one playoff appearance since then, the 2022 postseason ending in a first-round elimination. The Bulls’ fanbase had grown tired of their organization remaining in NBA purgatory.

The Final Straw

This current 2025-26 season served as the final straw for ownership. Sitting at 29-49, 12th place in the Eastern Conference, Chicago have missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

Also, injuries to Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White and controversial moves around them have added further to the ire of the fanbase. The failed pursuit of Jaden Ivey who made headlines for making anti-LGBTQ statement also compounded their problems. It was just time for ownership to take action and restore the lost glory of the outfit.

Moving Forward

“We are going to start searching for a new EVP as soon as possible,” Reinsdorf said. He was referring to the vacant executive vice president position.

The organization will be retaining its head coach, Billy Donovan, whose job appeared to be at risk initially before the announcement.

The end of an era has come and gone. For Chicago, rebuilding efforts can begin right away.
