CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls haven’t given up hope on Lonzo Ball yet, but the guard’s window for returning this season could be closing after another injury setback.
After taking a 10-day break from running that began March 21, Ball attempted to return to sprinting and lateral drills Tuesday only to experience discomfort in his left knee again.
Ball has been sidelined since undergoing meniscus surgery in January. The Bulls expected him to be return by the end of March, but his recovery has been impeded by a lingering deep bone bruise, which causes discomfort and pain whenever he attempts to move at full speed.
