ORLANDO – It’s not like Billy Donovan enjoys playing the role of bearer of bad news, but the Bulls coach also believes in trying to be as honest as he can.
That’s exactly what he was on Saturday when asked about injured point guard Lonzo Ball and the possibility of the team just shutting his comeback attempt down for the remainder of the year.
It’s not there yet, but it’s moving in that direction, according to Donovan.
“My guess would be – there’s not been a specifically set date – my guess would be I think we get through the All-Star Break, I think there would probably be everybody sitting down to talk about length and time of the season, how realistic is it for him to get back, if he could get back what would the minutes look like, is it not worth having him back just because it’s too much?
