Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball will not return for the remainder of the season, the team announced Wednesday.
Ball, who has not played since Jan. 14, had surgery on his left knee on Jan. 28 to repair a slight meniscus tear. The team said he is still experiencing pain "with high-level physical activity."
He has remained sidelined longer than the initial timeline for his return when his knee did not respond to the rehab process. Chicago pulled back the ramp-up process for 10 days at the end of March with "hope" the extra rest would allow him to recover, but Ball experienced a setback.
