Rob Schaefer: Billy Donovan says he was told Lonzo Ball’s surgery yesterday went well. Adds it still isn’t clear when Ball will be able to begin rehab and what he’ll feel like when he does -via Twitter @rob_schaef / September 29, 2022
KC Johnson: Can confirm there’s optimism from the Bulls that this surgery addressed Lonzo Ball’s persistent knee pain, which @Shams Charania posted 1st.
