Lonzo Ball had massive hype entering the league, and while he remains a valuable asset in the NBA, constant injuries have prevented his career from reaching the next level over and over again.
Ball offers a unique skillset that allows him to be impactful in all areas of the floor with a lot of untapped potential left, but the mentioned injuries have always slowed down the promising career of the eldest Ball brother.
Before the season, the Chicago Bulls were hopeful to have Ball back for the start of the season, after his surgery last season, but the point guard was in need of a second surgery on his knee, after being unable to run or jump and even having pain walking up stairs.
Now, halfway into the season, things are still looking grim for the former number two pick. While Ball hopes to return to play this season, there is still no timetable for his return.
The entire injury is pretty weird. Neither the Chicago Bulls, nor Lonzo Ball, nor the media staff know, why there is still pain in Lonzo’s knee, even though the point guard has had at least opinions from six different doctors.
According to @JCowleyHoops on 670 The Score:
1) The Chicago Bulls don’t know why Lonzo Ball is still feeling pain in his knee. The medical staff doesn’t know why there is still pain. Lonzo and his camp also don’t know why.
2) Lonzo has had at least 6 opinions from doctors.
