Lonzo Ball is set to make his long-awaited return to the Chicago Bulls tonight, nearly three years after suffering a meniscus injury that led to three surgeries and two seasons away from the game.
Despite the challenges, Ball expressed his excitement at a recent practice, stating, “I’m just happy to be back.” He has not experienced major setbacks since resuming full-contact scrimmages in August, aside from a brief illness with COVID-19.
The Bulls are taking a cautious approach, limiting Ball’s playing time to 16 minutes per game to ensure his long-term health. He acknowledges he will face challenges, including ongoing knee soreness, but remains determined to be effective on the court.
Ball’s return is significant for sports medicine, as he is the first NBA player to come back after a knee cartilage transplant. He is grateful for the Bulls’ support throughout his recovery, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in his journey back.
