June 4, 2020 Bulls President and COO Michael Reinsdorf, as well as Executive Vice President – Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas, have released the following statements:
MICHAEL REINSDORF:“It is disappointing that we will not return to play for the 2019-20 season, but ultimately this decision is about more than just one team. We are supportive of Commissioner Adam Silver and the outcome of the vote by the NBA Board of Governors. We thank Adam and his team for their thoughtful work in exploring all available options to come up with a solution that allows the NBA as a league to resume.
