According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Lonzo Ball is set to play in his first game in almost three years after dealing with multiple knee injuries for a long time.

The 26-year-old will play an undisclosed amount of minutes on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Ball hasn’t played in a game since January of 2022, as Chicago was 27-13 in the Eastern Conference with one of the best records at that time.

A team official confirmed this to Charania, which is a massive comeback. The combo guard’s career averages are 11.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 252 games.

According to the team, the Philadelphia 76ers have ruled Joel Embiid out for the remainder of the preseason to continue to follow his left knee management process.

Embiid is “progressing well and will continue to take part in an individual treatment plan designed to best support his health and wellness for the 2024-25 season.”

This is the official statement released by the organization, as they have three more games to play until the regular season. From now until October 18th, that’ll be their preseason. Then Philly will have a five-day rest before their season opener.

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Wells Fargo Center to take on Embiid’s team on October 23rd.

According to The Athletic’s Fred Katz, the New York Knicks will most likely keep Landry Shamet on their roster after having him go through a roster battle with other players.

Since New York is up against the hard cap, they’ll only be able to get Shamet and a rookie on a minimum salary on their roster.

“I don’t make the final decision on that, but I’m basing it on what [Shamet’s] done on the floor. He’s really done well,” Thibodeau said.

Tom Thibodeau loved what he saw from Shamet and wants him on the roster. An official decision should be made soon.
