As we’re halfway through July, you would think that Lonzo Ball may be back up to speed on his rehab from his small meniscus tear from January.
Wrong.
Bulls’ VP Arturas Karnisovas said on NBA TV during the Bulls-Raptor summer league game that Lonzo is “progressing” but “not at the speed” that the Bulls would like.
Karnisovas:
“He’s progressing. That’s as much as I can say. He’s getting better. Probably not at the speed that we would like. But he’s getting better.”
Following the NBA draft, Bulls’ GM Marc Eversley stated that ‘all reports are good’ regarding Lonzo’s knee.
Ball was expected to return following his surgery but was unable to ramp up his rehab due to discomfort in his knee. Lonzo’s father, LaVar, felt that the Bulls ‘trained him wrong’ and ramped his rehab up too fast.
Despite not being fully back on track, Karnisovas is hopeful for training camp.
“Hopefully, he’s going to be ready for training camp. That’s just our hopes.”
