Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball insists he will play again despite a series of knee surgeries that have derailed his promising career.
Ball said Monday he is about halfway through the rehab process from a cartilage transplant in March — the third operation on his left knee in a little more than a year. The No. 2 overall draft selection from 2017 will miss his second consecutive season in 2023-24.
“I definitely plan on playing again,” Ball told reporters at media day. “After surgery three, I feel like it’s going well so far — no setbacks. So for me, it’s just keep my head up, just keep doing the work.”
