According to ESPN reporters Jamal Collier and Ramon Shelburne, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is expected to miss training camp and is doubtful for the start of the 2022-23 NBA season because of pain and discomfort following meniscus surgery last January on his left knee.
One source in the past said Ball’s knee is structurally sound after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on January 28th. Ball, set to be 25 on October 27th, Ball’s rehabbing efforts have featured starts and stops because he was feeling discomfort in his left knee. During the Summer League, in an NBA TV interview, Artūras Karnišovas said about the status of Ball, “He’s getting better, probably not at the speed that we would like.” Once the injury occurred, the Bulls said, Lonzo Ball was expected to miss only 6-8 weeks, but now it has been seven months and will likely end up being a year.
Lonzo will travel to Chicago next week to undergo further evaluation by the Bulls. The former UCLA guard has been rehabbing in Los Angeles with his camp. The last time Ball played in a game was against the Golden State Warriors on January 14th. Before Ball got injured, Chicago had a 27-13 record. Ball was a significant factor in that good record, averaging 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. But after January 14th, Chicago finished the season with a 19-23 record without Ball.

It sounds like Lonzo Ball has fully recovered from the left knee injury. But the bone bruise has been the recent issue. The best way to recover from a bone bruise injury is by resting, and Ball will probably not play in the first couple of weeks or months. Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn had a similar injury, and it took him a whole year to recover. Expect Lonzo Ball to be ready to play in January.
