Daily Bulls

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in Los Angeles on September 28 and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks, according to the Chicago Bulls, earlier today. Ball arrived in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and the Bulls announced Ball would miss time into the start of the 2022-23 regular season.

Lonzo Ball has been dealing with a left knee injury since January, when he suffered a meniscus tear and bone bruise. The latest issue has been the bone bruise. He underwent surgery on January 28th to take care of the meniscus tear, which he has fully recovered from. The story with Ball is when he started working out; he would feel discomfort, which has been reported since February when he was supposed to recover within six to eight weeks. But that never happened. In April, he got ruled out for the rest of the season.

When will Ball return?

Chicago will start training camp on September 27th, and the season will begin on October 19th. Four weeks from his surgery date (September 28th) will be October 26th and six weeks will be November 9th. Don’t expect Ball to be ready to play in four to six weeks. Ball will need the rest. If everything goes right, Ball should be ready to play by January. One whole year since the pain began.

In his first season in Chicago, Lonzo Ball averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 35 games. Ball, 24, has not played in an NBA game since January 14th, and back in January, Chicago was on top of the Eastern Conference. But Chicago struggled without Ball, resulting in a 19-23 record, and lost in the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks. Chicago will miss Ball on the court, but that was the significant reason for the Goran Dragic signing. Goran Dragic or Ayo Dosunmu will likely start at point guard against the Miami Heat on October 19th.
