Chicago Bulls' Lonzo Ball expected to miss training camp, doubtful for start of NBA season, sources say

CHICAGO -- Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is expected to miss training camp and is doubtful for the start of the regular season due to lingering pain and discomfort following meniscus surgery on his left knee in January, sources told ESPN on Friday.

While a source reiterated Ball's knee is structurally sound after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on Jan. 28, Ball continued to experience pain while attempting basketball activities as he spent the summer rehabbing in Los Angeles.

Ball will arrive in Chicago next week to undergo further evaluation by the team, but he is unlikely to participate when the Bulls begin training camp at the end of this month.
