Lonzo Ball has suffered multiple injuries throughout his career, preventing him from playing in 65 or more games in a single season.

Lonzo Ball hasn't been active this season for Chicago Bulls - the reason being his knee injury. Previously, the footballer was diagnosed with knee soreness, however, after the recent developments the injury has become more critical and doctors also have near-to-no clue about point guard's knee.

Joe Cowley stated on 670 The Score that the team is still uncertain about the reason for Ball's continued knee pain.

The Chicago Bulls announced during the offseason that Ball had a bone bruise and a torn meniscus in his left knee. Initially, a recovery time of six to eight weeks was expected, but as the first half of the 2022-23 season nears its end, Lonzo has yet to play for the team.


Injuries have plagued the career of the 6-foot-6 point guard. Last season, he only appeared in 35 games and spent much of the time on the sidelines. His last full season was in 2019-20 with the New Orleans Pelicans, where he started in 63 games as their point guard.

Lonzo's absence has caused difficulties for the Bulls throughout the season. Currently, the team is 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23-27 and is set to face the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.
