Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball made his anticipated return to the NBA on Wednesday night for the first time since January 2022.
After missing more than two years of NBA competition with injury struggles, Ball returned to play with the Bulls for the team’s preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The fans at Chicago’s United Center gave Ball a classy standing ovation as he took the court, and he paid them back immediately by hitting a great 3-pointer for the team.
It’s incredible Ball has been able to return to the league after battling the injuries he has. Draining a 3-pointer right away in his NBA return just makes all of this even more special.
