"Being told Bulls guard Jevon Carter is exercising his $6.8 million player option for the 2025-26 season," Marc Stein said in a post.
Jevon Carter has bounced all over the league since starting his NBA career back in 2018. After an impressive college career at West Virginia, he was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies . Since then, Carter has also played for the Phoenix Suns , Brooklyn Nets , Milwaukee Bucks , Boston Celtics and the Bulls.
Carter has been a role player at every stop as he has only started 49 games in his career, and he has only averaged more than 20 minutes per game during one season.
He hasn't done too much since joining the Bulls as he averaged five points per game, 1.3 assists per game and 0.8 rebounds per game during his first season, and then he averaged 4.3 PPG, 1.1 APG and 1.1 RPG this past season.
