With a loss to the Indiana Pacers on March 5, the Bulls were not able to improve on their 46–36 record from their previous season. Instead, they finished with a struggling record of 40–42. However, it was good enough to qualify for the play-in tournament, having placed 10th in the Eastern Conference. They would defeat the Toronto Raptors in the first game after mounting a comeback from a 19-point deficit, but ended up losing to the Miami Heat in the second game, eliminating them from playoff contention for the 6th time in the past 7 seasons.

The Bulls entered the draft with their own first-round pick.[1] They traded their original second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons, which was later conveyed to the Sacramento Kings as the less favorable selection because Chicago finished with a better record than Detroit, before finally being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers a few days before the draft.[2]
