Donovan, who won two national championships as the coach at Florida, has compiled a 150-96 record since he joined Oklahoma City before 2015-16. Last season, Oklahoma City made a surprising first-round exit from the playoffs as it fell to the Donovan Mitchell-led Jazz.
The Thunder got off to a rough start this season, as they lost their first four games. However, they've improved drastically and hold an 18-10 record, which is good for third in the Western Conference.
The Thunder will take on the Bulls on Monday night in Oklahoma City.
