Donovan said Ball, who has a bone bruise and meniscus injury, is in good spirits and that, ultimately, the decision for surgery was his.
“The last thing you want to do is have to go through this. But we tried two different things. He really didn’t see any significant change,” Donovan said. “Obviously, he has a bone bruise there, which we already knew. But until the surgery happens, no one really knows about the meniscus of where it’s at. The surgeons have to get in there to get a clear understanding of what’s actually causing the problem besides the bone bruise.
“He’s on the court. He’s working. He’s responded very, very well to his treatment,” Donovan said. “He continues day-by-day to get better. I don’t know exactly what the return date would be but we feel pretty good about where he’s at. I think we’re optimistic for maybe some time middle to late next week if things continue to trend the way they are.”
After stops in Orlando and Oklahoma City, the Bulls return home for a makeup game against the Raptors on Wednesday, Jan. 26, then jet to San Antonio for the Spurs on Friday. Donovan added that Derrick Jones Jr. is running on the treadmill, but also has no return date scheduled. Javonte Green “is doing a little more every day,” according to Donovan, but still experiences discomfort in his groin when he maxes out his workout.
