PHILADELPHIA -- Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball underwent cartilage transplant surgery on his left knee earlier Monday, a procedure coach Billy Donovan said gives Ball the best chance to, at some point in the future, resume his NBA career.

"I know he's going to work really hard [on his rehab]," Donovan said before Monday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. "[The doctors] felt like the surgery went well.

"I do know that Lonzo, just based on the information he was able to gather from different sets of doctors, [was] making the decision that he felt like this was the best chance to be able to get him back on the court.
