Carter posted 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-127 victory over the Nuggets.
The five threes were a season high for Carter, albeit in only his fourth game, and it was his best showing from beyond the arc since March 31 of last season. The journeyman guard seems to have found a home as a depth option in the Chicago backcourt after playing for four different teams in his first five years in the NBA, but with Coby White (calf) getting close to resuming a full workload, Carter will likely head back to the end of the bench in short order.

Bulls' Jevon Carter: Season-high 17 minutes
Rotowire
Carter finished with 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 124-113 loss to the Pistons.
Carter had arguably his best game in the past 12 months, an indication of how muted his role has become. Chicago was once again without Josh Giddey (ankle), allowing Cater to move into a somewhat meaningful role. While it was great to see the veteran holding his own, this is likely nothing more than an outlier, based on what we have seen from him recently.

Bulls' Jevon Carter: Adds two assists in loss
Rotowire
Carter produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists across 12 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 loss to the Knicks.
Carter made his season debut Sunday against New York, and while he was unable to produce in his first game, it is worth noting that he is probably getting back to speed after not playing since the preseason. Carter will likely continue backing up Tre Jones until Coby White (calf) returns.

Bulls' Jevon Carter: Another strong showing
Rotowire
Carter logged 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes of Tuesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Denver.
Despite some very modest workloads, Carter has been an obvious standout during the preseason. Through four games, he's averaging 13.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in just 16.4 minutes per contest. He's firmly behind Josh Giddey and Tre Jones at point guard, but Carter is proving that he'll be ready when his name is called.

Rotowire
Carter delivered 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Thursday's 119-112 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Carter has been used sparingly in the preseason so far, though he's made the most of his minutes. Through two games, he's seeing 11.8 minutes per contest with averages of 12.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers on 64.3 percent shooting from the field. He's not guaranteed a role for Opening Night, but he's doing everything he can on his end.

Bulls' Jevon Carter: To exercise option
Rotowire
Carter will exercise his $6.8 million player option for the 2025-26 season, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.
This was always the expectation for Carter. The veteran guard made a total of 36 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, posting averages of 4.3 points, 1.1 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 8.9 minutes per contest. He could struggle to land a rotation role in 2025-26.

Carter played four minutes in the loss, suiting up for just the third time in the past seven games.

It's been an underwhelming 12 months for Carter, who has struggled to carve out a consistent role in the Chicago rotation.

Rotowire
Carter chipped in 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 129-127 win over the Wizards.
Carter's 20 points and 12 assists were his most all season in each respective category. He did his damage across a season-high 37 minutes. The veteran point guard could be in line for another healthy workload in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Knicks if Chicago is again down several starters.
