Lonzo Ball Not Sure When He Will Recover From His Knee Injury

Lonzo Ball said he is unsure of when he will join the Chicago Bulls in the NBA, given that he is still hampered in his ability to walk due to an injury.
The second-round pick in the 2017 draft, who has been sidelined since January because of a knee problem, was widely anticipated to return this season following surgery. Ball needs a second operation because he is still unable to run, jump, or even climb a flight of stairs without experiencing discomfort.
Jonzo is worried for his well-being after that, but he could be sidelined for at least four to six weeks. When the 24-year-old will be at ease enough to don a Bulls, the jersey is unknown because he has “never felt pain like that.”
The absence of Jonzo is a significant loss to the Bulls team as the NBA 2022-23 season is around the corner. They have been without their point guard since January. When he first tore his meniscus, he was supposed to recover in two months, but it has already been eight months since that treatment and there is still no clear answer.
Ball continued to participate in the Bulls’ media day when he responded to numerous inquiries about his condition. The Bulls star shared the unsettling realization that his left knee hurts when he engages in “basketball activities.”
“I still can’t play basketball. I can’t run or jump. It’s every day, even going upstairs and stuff, it’s still painful,” he explained.
“There was a point where we would warm up and stuff, and I would go through certain days and it would be fine,” Ball said via a video call with reporters. “Then whenever I got to real basketball activities, I just couldn’t do it.

Ball was questioned by reporters if he felt it might be the end of the season, but he isn’t yet concerned about that.
“The doctors and the Bulls, we’re all trying to figure out what it is. Like I said, we all concluded that it’s time for surgery.”
