Bulls' Billy Donovan acknowledges 'long rehab' for Lonzo Ball

CHICAGO -- Bulls coach Billy Donovan wasn't sure when or even if Lonzo Ball will play again for Chicago, with the point guard set to have yet another surgery on his troublesome left knee.

Donovan said Ball will likely undergo a cartilage transplant early next week, though he wasn't sure which day, and is in for "a long rehab."

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday that concerns persist about Ball's eventual ability to resume his career and that the latest procedure could cost him most -- if not all -- of the 2023-24 season.
