For the past three seasons, the Chicago Bulls have been the same team. The same stars, the same core role players, and, for the most part, the same results. They’ve only won a single playoff game since forming their core, and ever since Lonzo Ball went down over two full calendar years ago, the Bulls haven’t been the same.
However, there have been some positive updates regarding Ball’s progress this year. Ball has supposedly been slowly improving, and while it’s still unclear as to when he could make it back out onto the court, there’s more optimism now than ever regarding when he could be back.
Ball recently posted a video of him dunking, and Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune posted it to Twitter, noting the positives of him finally being able to move in the way he is.
Lonzo Ball shared this video yesterday going through some basic dunks.
Hard to glean explosiveness/mobility from these brief clips but good in general to see him look comfortable getting up to the rim. pic.twitter.com/IWOO6DOoiK

Getting Ball back would be huge for the ceiling of the Bulls, even if he isn’t the same as he once was.
