The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[2] On June 4, 2020, the season came to an end for the Bulls when the NBA Board of Governors approved a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams returning to play in the NBA Bubble on July 31, 2020, which was approved by the National Basketball Players Association the next day.[3][4]
Boylen was later fired as head coach on August 14, 2020.[5]
