The signs had been pointing to Lonzo Ball not playing again for the Bulls this season, and it looks like that worst-case scenario is indeed coming to fruition. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said before Tuesday’s game against the Bucks that Ball is still feeling discomfort in his knee when he tries to ramp things up for a return to play, and he noted there will be a final decision made on the guard’s status in the coming days.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium soon both reported the likelihood of Ball getting shut down for the remainder of the season.
