Lonzo Ball's NBA career has been put on an indefinite hold after a third surgery was deemed necessary to correct the issue with his left knee. Over two years have passed since Ball last appeared in a regular season game on January 14th 2022, and the Chicago Bulls guard is now facing a long period of recovery.
On Monday's episode of From the Point by Trae Young, Ball discussed his struggles with the injury. He expressed his difficulty of not knowing what the next day would bring. He has since come to terms with the situation, however, and is now focused on getting back to full health.
Although the Bulls have been supportive of Ball throughout his recovery, he expressed his regret at not being able to take advantage of the team they put together around him. He felt it was the most perfect fit for his game and lamented not being able to see what could have been.
Ball was drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017 and has since gone on to play two seasons for the New Orleans Pelicans before a sign-and-trade deal saw him join the Bulls. In 35 games he averaged 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists until his injury.
He is now the oldest of the three Ball brothers playing professionally. LiAngelo plays in the NBA G League and LaMelo is part of the Charlotte Hornets.
The future for Lonzo Ball is uncertain, but he remains positive and is determined to come back stronger than ever.
