Questions about Lonzo Ball’s availability to play basketball next season remain.

Where he’ll attempt to play basketball, well, Ball made that crystal clear on Saturday.

As expected, a source confirmed that the 26-year-old point guard exercised his $21.4 million player option with the Bulls, hoping to come back from three left knee surgeries since 2022 by the time fall camp opens.

Wishful thinking or a realistic goal for Ball?

The Bulls were obviously hoping for the latter.

As of three weeks ago, Ball was continuing to progress in his rehabilitation and was sprinting and cutting with no setbacks.
