Feel terrible for Lonzo. 3 of his 5 NBA seasons have been derailed by multi-week season-ending injuries – 6:37 PM

The time off did not help Lonzo Ball like the Bulls were hoping. They should have a definitive decision in the next few days, but I’ll help the team along: He’s done for the rest of the season. – 6:24 PM

Coach Donovan : Disappointing. Says Lonzo wants to play. Has tried everything to get back to play. – 6:22 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Billy Donovan said the doctors will again get together and figure out the next step for Lonzo Ball. Sounds like a rest-of-the-season shutdown is the reality of this situation. Cya in 2022-23. – 6:22 PM
