Bulls' Lonzo Ball Progresses After Wrist Injury

The New York Knicks will host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening, with both teams facing significant injuries. The Bulls will be without Lonzo Ball and DJ Steward, while Zach LaVine is probable and two other players are questionable. Ball, who had just returned from a long absence due to knee injuries, suffered a Grade 2 wrist sprain but has recently seen progress, as he no longer wears a brace and is practicing shooting. Bulls coach Billy Donovan noted that Ball has some pain but is beginning to dribble again, although there is no set timetable for his return. This season, Ball showed promising performances in limited minutes before his injury, contributing to the Bulls' offensive dynamics. The overall situation highlights the ongoing challenges the Bulls face with player health as they prepare for their upcoming game.
