CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls shut down Lonzo Ball for a second consecutive season Tuesday as the point guard continues to struggle with discomfort and pain in his left knee.
The decision was made 13 months after Ball originally injured his meniscus last January.
“Despite making significant increases in strength and function over the past several months, Ball continues to experience performance limiting discomfort during participation in high level basketball-related activities,” executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas said in a statement.
