Lonzo Ball Out Indefinitely Due to Injury

Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls remains sidelined due to a sprained right wrist sustained on October 28, which was initially thought to be minor but appears more serious. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan noted that while initial evaluations were optimistic, they are now treating it aggressively to prevent further injury, referencing a similar situation with teammate Patrick Williams. Ball has yet to shed his splint after ten days of recovery, leaving his return date uncertain. In his limited appearances this season, Ball has averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in just three games, following a lengthy recovery from knee surgeries. The Bulls are exercising caution with Ball’s rehabilitation, prioritizing his long-term health. In his absence, teammates Ayo Dosunmu, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Dalen Terry are expected to see increased playing time.
