Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball made his return to the court.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball last appeared in an NBA game on January 14, 2022. Injuries have sidelined Ball for more than two years, but he finally made his return to the court on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While this is just a preseason game, it is a major milestone for Ball after two full seasons away from the court. Drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017, Ball was continuing to establish himself as a very consistent and high-level starting guard before this extended absence.October 17, 2024Ball’s first stint lasted just over five minutes of game time. The 6-foot-6 guard tallied six points, one assist, and one rebound while converting on both of his three point attempts.
The Bulls are going to be careful with managing Ball’s workload throughout the season. There will be a ramp up process for Ball, but the fact that he is back on the court performing well is an incredible thing to see.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
