Lonzo Ball Listed As Probable Monday Versus Raptors
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is expected to play on Monday after being listed as probable for the injury report against the Toronto Raptors. His minutes are still on a bit of a restriction, but Ball has received close to 20 minutes in each of the last two games. In nine appearances this year, he's averaging 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals across 17.0 minutes per game. He hasn't been viable in most fantasy leagues but could help if he continues to improve and receive more minutes down the road.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball is set to play a larger part in the rotation going forward. Per Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has said that Ball's minutes restriction has been elevated to 20 minutes. After missing 33 months because of a knee injury, Ball has been on a 16-18-minute limit this season. He has already reached the 20-minute mark a couple of times in recent games. The versatile guard has averaged 16.8 minutes during his comeback campaign, recording 4.9 points, 2.4. rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals. Ball's numbers will likely get a slight boost with the increased playing time, but his fantasy value will still be limited.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. As expected, Ball is back in the mix after sitting out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes. The Bulls continue to be cautious with the oft-injured guard. Ball has only been playing minutes in the teens with the team easing him back into action. The expectation is that he'll continue playing around 15-16 minutes on Friday. That being said, Ball isn't going to have strong streaming appeal until he's back to full strength.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will not be in the lineup for Thursday's clash against San Antonio. Following his lengthy battle with a knee injury, Ball hasn't been cleared for back-to-backs, and the team has decided to keep him out from Thursday's game. We should see him back in action in Friday's matchup against Indiana. Considering he had a 33-month break from basketball, Ball has played well this season, averaging 4.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.2 steals in 16.2 minutes. With Coby White (ankle) also out and Josh Giddey (ankle) questionable, Jevon Carter might get a decent workload in the rotation.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) will officially be active against Boston on Friday. He's expected to be limited to 15-16 minutes. Ball has just returned from a 15-game absence. He posted six points, three assists, four steals, two steals, and two blocks in 15 minutes against Orlando on Wednesday. The numbers show that Ball can still make a significant impact in limited minutes, but fantasy managers definitely won't get full value out of him if he only has a light workload.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is currently considered probable ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Ball is on track to play on Friday after logging in 15 minutes during his season debut on Wednesday. The expectation is that Ball will play roughly 15-16 minutes once again, assuming he's active. The Bulls are going to be extremely careful with the oft-injured guard. That being said, Ball isn't going to have strong streaming appeal until he's back to full speed.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ball has been out since late October due to a right wrist sprain. That being said, Ball is going to be limited to around 15 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that the Bulls are going to ease Ball back into the rotation. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Ball to have meaningful fantasy value until he's back to full speed. Both Josh Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu could see their playing time take a hit with Ball back in the mix.
Lonzo Ball Targeting Return To Action On Wednesday
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash against Washington but appears to be ready to jump back into action on Wednesday versus Orlando. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Ball is targeting a return against the Magic. Ball has been out since Oct. 28 with a right wrist sprain. He made his first three NBA appearances in 33 months at the start of the campaign, averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes. The Bulls will continue to manage his workload once Ball is back, limiting his fantasy appeal.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ball, who has not played since Oct. 28, has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, and his wrist injury has further delayed his return. While his doubtful status suggests he is inching closer to game action, it's likely that Ball will be on a minutes restriction once cleared to play, as the team remains cautious with his health. So far this season, Ball has averaged 16.0 minutes per game, 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) will be sidelined for at least 10 days. He's dealing with a sprained wrist and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, the team announced. Ball has averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes during his comeback campaign. Ayo Dosunmu looks to be in line for a larger role during Ball's absence. Some horrible shooting has limited Dosunmu to just 5.8 points this campaign, but he's a good all-around talent and fantasy managers should get plenty out of him. The 24-year-old sits among the team leaders with 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
