Just go ahead and rule Lonzo Ball out the rest of the regular season. He never even got cutting and lateral movement ramped up. If he can make a guest appearance in the playoffs? Bonus. – 6:27 PM

Lonzo Ball will stop running on his knee for the next 10 days, per Billy Donovan. They’ve been trying to ramp him up but he hasn’t responded well – 6:23 PM

Lonzo Ball will only do strength training … still not ruling him out for season, but a 10-day pause isn’t great news. – 6:22 PM

What do you want first? Bad news or the good news? You get the bad news, as the Lonzo Ball update from Billy Donovan wasn’t great. PWill? Much better?

Friday marked 7 weeks since Lonzo Ball underwent his surgical procedure, which the Bulls initially said would keep him out 6-8 weeks.
Billy Donovan said Ball’s rehab progress has stalled for now.

Lonzo Ball’s return from a torn meniscus still could be a ways away, if it at all before the end of the regular season.
“He has not responded,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Friday. “There’s not setbacks. It’s still the same thing.”

Billy Donovan says Lonzo Ball “has not responded” in his recovery.
Still stuck trying to get up to full speed drills, Lonzo keeps having discomfort attempting to go 100%.
The one positive is that he’s not having pain doing everyday things like going up the stairs anymore. – 8:46 PM

Not good news on Lonzo Ball. He’s not regressed, but he’s definitely stalled out in the current rehab program. – 8:42 PM

Lonzo Ball is still not doing anything full speed, per Billy Donovan. Any time he gets close there’s discomfort in knee. Donovan said team has considered backing off and letting him rest for a period of time. Didn’t call it a setback, but said Ball “hasn’t responded” – 8:41 PM

Donovan says Lonzo still not able to run full speed, might be time to back off a little. No telling when he’ll return. #Bulls – 8:41 PM

Joe Cowley: The bone bruise is still the issue with Lonzo Ball’s knee. The pause is to allow further healing. Ten days is the end of March, and then he would have to start the running program again. Calendar isn’t on his side. -via Twitter @JCowleyHoops / March 21, 2022
