- Nearly two years after his last NBA game, Lonzo Ball is beginning to take the next steps to return to the court — and eventually the Chicago Bulls lineup.
Ball has not played basketball since Jan. 14, 2022, when he suffered a meniscus injury that led to extensive, ongoing complications in his left knee. He underwent three surgeries over the past two years, including a cartilage transplant in March. Ball had been ruled out for a return this season.
