Questions about Lonzo Ball’s availability to play next season remain.
But where he’ll attempt to play was made quite clear Saturday.
As expected, a source confirmed that the 26-year-old point guard exercised his $21.4 million player option with the Bulls. He’s attempting to come back from three surgeries on his left knee since 2022 by the time fall camp opens.
Is that wishful thinking or a realistic goal for Ball?
The Bulls obviously are hoping for the latter.
As of three weeks ago, Ball was continuing to make progress in his rehabilitation and was sprinting and cutting with no setbacks.
