Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball taking next step in rehab

CHICAGO -- As Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball approaches the two-year anniversary of his last NBA game, his coach Billy Donovan said the team is hopeful the former Laker can take a major step in the rehab process next month.

Ball, who has already been ruled out for the entire 2023-24 season, is expected to begin running in January, Donovan said before Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

"The pain that he was experiencing that was causing the setback has been eliminated," Donovan said.

Ball, who has been rehabbing in Los Angeles, was in Chicago last week to check in with the team.
