Lonzo Ball Hopeful To Revive His Career

A third surgery will be done on Lonzo Ball’s left knee, which means he will most likely miss all of next season. Since it is so late into this season that this expectation is completely normal and most likely will happen.

However, there is good news. Both the Bulls and Ball are optimistic that this surgery can revive his career and allow him to play ball again with Chicago.

With that being said, Ball hasn’t played ball (no pun intended) since January 2022. If he is able to resume his career in 24-25, then that’ll make his injury two-and-half seasons long. Just like Jonathan Isaac, some injuries will take you out of your career for a very long time.

Lonzo Ball To Play In First Game In Almost Three Years

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.

Lonzo Ball Targeting To Play On Opening Night

During the Chicago Bulls media day, Vice President Arturas Karnisovas gave fans a major update on Lonzo Ball’s health.

The team is hoping for the 26-year-old to be available by opening night to play against the New Orleans Pelicans; according to Lonzo, it’s like he was given a brand-new knee.

Karnisovas will allow the coaching staff to slowly introduce him to training camp to see how his knee holds up. While he has done 5-on-5 scrimmages in the past, Chicago is expected to hold off out of caution for his safety.

This is the biggest news fans have received in a long time, as the season is less than a month away. Ball last played for his team on January 14th, 2022. It was a very different scene in the NBA.

“I pretty much have a brand new knee.”

Don’t expect Lonzo Ball to play this season

Lonzo Ball has not played a single game yet this season and there are no guarantee’s that he plays at all. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Ball is currently rehabbing that knee and experiencing pain that is creating setbacks. He also adds that there are no guarantees he plays this season.

“There are no guarantees, I’m told, that he plays at all this season. He’s rehabbing that knee now, he’s still feeling some pain in it,” said Wojnarowski.

Chicago is hoping to get more information about Ball’s injury come the All-Star break in mid-February, previously there was hope of him returning in early 2023; however, plans have changed (obviously) and they are looking for some good news come mid-February.

His tenure with the Bulls have been very rocky. In 2021-22, he only played in 35 games and, in this season, has yet to play in a single game.
