It’s been over 19 months since Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball has played in an NBA game. Facing another lost season as he continues his recovery from a third knee surgery, Ball discussed his situation with the team Monday, lamenting missed opportunities in Chicago.
Speaking as a guest on the From the Point podcast hosted by Hawks point guard Trae Young, Ball said he was encouraged by his current progress and hopes to recapture the early success he and the Bulls enjoyed during his brief 2021-22 debut season with the team.
“It’s going to be a big what-if,” Ball said. “I feel bad, just for the [Bulls] GMs because I feel like they made the perfect team around me. I felt like that was the most I’ve ever been involved in an organization. And I finally got the perfect team that I felt like could fit my game and play my way and really just do what I wanted to do.”
