Lonzo Ball Stats

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.

According to Dan Bernstein of WSCR, many within the Bulls organization believe Lonzo Ball (knee) may never play again. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since January 2022 because of a right knee injury and eventually missed the entire 2022-23 campaign. There was hope he'd be back this year. However, he underwent a third surgery in March, a procedure that included cartilage being replaced. Nobody has ever returned from an injury of that magnitude. But dynasty managers should remain optimistic and keep the former UCLA Bruin on the roster until there is an official update on his future.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) remains without a timeline for his return. Ball missed out on the whole 2022-23 season and his future is up in the air after he had a third knee surgery in March. The versatile guard last appeared in a game in January 2022. There are doubts about whether Ball can continue his playing career, but Chicago expects him back. "I have confidence that he's going to come back," Bulls vice president Arturas Karnisovas said. "In terms of timeline, I don't have that timeline right now because he just had his procedure." The 25-year-old Ball, who has a contract through the 2024-25 season, has averaged 11.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals for his career.
