Lonzo Ball

Ball has missed the last two NBA seasons due to a knee injury, but the Chicago Bulls guard is optimistic about his return with the regular season just two months away.

“It started with a meniscus tear with the Lakers,” Ball explained. “I tore it a couple more times until there was no meniscus left, leading to bone-on-bone rubbing. The cartilage was gone, and the bone was damaged. I had to get a new meniscus from a donor, a bone allograft, and new cartilage. Now, I’m back on the court.”

Lonzo Ball, who has been sidelined from NBA play for over two years due to recurring knee issues, is making strides in his recovery.
