Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is still unable to sprint as he continues to rehab his left knee. "I don't know if he's stuck," said Bulls head coach Billy Donovan on Tuesday. "He is doing some shooting, some running, some jumping. He hasn't done any sprinting yet, that I know." Donovan added, "They talked about that, and [sprinting] was kind of a goal, a set point. I do think the one thing that has been a priority right now, so he does not get set back, is he needs to develop more strength in his leg." Ball last played in the NBA in January 2022.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out after undergoing multiple surgeries over the last few years, including a cartilage transplant in March 2023. With nearly a year since the procedure, the 26-year-old is still without a return date. Ball provided an update on his health during Saturday's meeting with the Kings, reporting he's "doing much better." While still not running, he's pain-free, which is undoubtedly good news. For now, Ball will continue to rehab, with the hope of one day returning to the court. The 2017 No. 2 overall pick averaged 11.9 points, 6.2 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 252 regular season games. During his most recent campaign in 2021-22, he shot a career-high 42.3% from deep, a significant improvement from his rookie year. Although Ball is nowhere near ready to play, he's a capable fantasy producer. But his inability to stay healthy has been an issue since he entered the league.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) recently said during a podcast that he's going to miss the entire 2023-2024 season. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Bulls' Vice President Arturas Karnisovas said in June that he expected the point guard to miss a second straight season. The 25-year-old guard appears to be doing better in his recovery process. However, he's not ready to play, so the Bulls will have to adjust without Ball for the upcoming 2023 season.
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is not expected to return in 2023-2024 after missing all of last season, too. It's a gloomy forecast for both the 25-year-old Ball and the Bulls, as the playmaker's void was felt on both ends of the floor last campaign. It looks like Chicago may have to trot out some conglomeration of Alex Caruso, Patrick Beverley, Ayo Dosunmu, and Coby White at the 1 next year. Caruso is the only one of them under contract next season. 2022 first-rounder Dalen Terry could even get more involved as a type of point forward. It's likely to be a value-canceling rotation for fantasy purposes.
