After a long two and a half years, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has announced he has been cleared for five vs. five practice. Due to recurring knee injuries, Ball has not stepped on a court since January of 2022, and this news means Ball will probably be back this season.
Before his absence, Ball was averaging 13 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals per game in 35 games. With his return and former Bulls star DeMar DeRozan officially gone, Ball will take a more active role on the team currently going into rebuilding.
If he can stay healthy, Ball can become a top 10 point guard in the NBA.
