[Saba Sports News] Lonzo Ball continues his recovery journey from a significant knee injury, with some optimism emerging from his camp regarding a potential return.
In a recent mailbag column by KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, there’s a “growing buzz” indicating that Ball might aim for a comeback next season. However, he hasn’t progressed to 5-on-5 activities yet, so any return remains speculative at this stage.
Despite the uncertainties, the Bulls are committed to providing Ball with another opportunity to play, primarily due to contractual obligations. With a player option exceeding $21 million for next season, it’s likely that Ball will exercise it, compelling the Bulls to support his rehabilitation efforts.
While there have been modest signs of progress in Ball’s recovery from three knee procedures, he still faces a considerable journey before returning to competitive play. Nevertheless, the absence of setbacks offers a glimmer of hope for his eventual return to the court.
