Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball finally came back this season following a two-year absence caused by a knee injury. Supporters were thrilled to watch him return for the first game of the season, but after just three games, he was once again out due to another injury. Ball is currently sidelined for 12 games and counting due to a right wrist sprain.
No Knee Issues, But Time Needed
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan stated that Ball will continue to be sidelined for at least one more week. Luckily, the wrist injury is not connected to his past knee issues. Donovan announced that Lonzo Ball will be out until the following week. Despite the timeline showing signs of progress, fans are losing patience due to numerous setbacks.
Fans React to the Setback
Bulls fans took to social media to share their frustration and sadness regarding Ball’s situation. A supporter commented, “Guy has the absolute worst luck with injuries out of all the players I have ever supported.” Misses 2.5 years, performs well in three games, then gets sidelined once more. Another person commented, “This is the saddest signing I can think of as a fan of the Bulls.”
Encouraging Signs Amid Adversity
Although he was disappointed, Ball displayed glimpses of his potential in his short time on the team this season. He showcased his former Bulls’ cornerstone skills in only 48 minutes.
Looking Ahead
Lonzo Ball is facing a tough road to recovery, but his determination and moments of excellence provide optimism for what lies ahead. Despite their frustrations, Bulls fans are still supporting his return. They will need to wait a bit more before they can see him return to the court.
