The Bulls faced a Tuesday deadline to do so and, apparently, informed Terry and his representative well in advance of that date.
It's more common than not that such options are exercised, although Terry, the Bulls' 2022 first-round pick, has had a hard time finding playing time. On Monday, the Bulls sent Terry to the Windy City Bulls of the G League. And coach Billy Donovan offered an assessment of Terry's game.
Donovan also detailed where he thinks Terry's game is at currently.
"He's really a good open-floor player. He has good size, good vision and good passing skills," Donovan said. "But with the way our team is right now, there aren't many opportunities for him to do that. And we need to help him play to his strengths.

But the biggest thing to me for him is he plays with such a motor and energy and is a competitor, he has got to be more detailed defensively, whether it's blocking out, pick-and-roll coverages, whatever it may be."
