CHICAGO — As Lonzo Ball undergoes his second procedure Wednesday to address a lingering meniscus injury, the source of the pain sidelining the Chicago Bulls point guard remains a mystery.
Nearly nine months after Ball first injured his meniscus in a Jan. 14 game against the Golden State Warriors, Bulls medical specialists are still uncertain as to why Ball’s knee isn’t responding to surgery and rehabilitation. Ball hasn’t been able to run or play basketball since, remaining on the sidelines as the team opened training camp Tuesday in preparation for the 2022-23 season.
Knee pain hangs over Ball’s life, twinging every time he attempts to climb the stairs at home.
