Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is out for the remainder of the season with continued soreness and discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee.
"Despite making significant increases in strength and function over the past several months, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball continues to experience performance limiting discomfort during participation in high level basketball-related activities," the Bulls said in a statement issued Tuesday.
"Considering the required time period to achieve the necessary level of fitness to return-to-play and the current stage of the NBA season, Ball will not return this season. The focus for Ball will continue to be on the resolution of his discomfort and a full return for the 2023-24 season."
Ball underwent surgery on his left knee twice last year and last played January 14, 2022, logging 24 minutes against the Golden State Warriors.
