The Chicago Bulls are expecting Lonzo Ball not to feature the team heading into next season, according to the team's Vice President, Arturas Karnisovas.
The 25-year-old point guard missed the entire 2022-23 NBA season due to a left knee injury that resulted in cartilage transplant surgery in March. The operation marked the third medical procedure on his knee, keeping Ball sidelined since his last appearance in an NBA game in January.
Karnisovas addressed the media before the NBA Draft took place on Thursday. Originally, the Bulls didn't have a draft pick due to forfeiting the selection after violating rules governing free agency discussions.
