Lonzo Ball’s recovery from injury has been a topic that fans around the NBA have kept their eyes on. After a less-than-ideal start to his NBA career, Ball worked on his game and became a very good shooter and elite defender. He was thriving after signing with the Chicago Bulls last season but has since been hampered majorly by a massive injury.
The latest rumors about what would happen with Lonzo Ball were all quite bleak, with the expectation that he would not return this season. After some hopeful reports earlier in December and January, it became apparent that Lonzo’s injury would take more time on the court away from him. And it has since been confirmed that the Chicago Bulls will shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Lonzo Ball has grown into a favorite for many fans of the NBA, not just the Chicago Bulls, and this news made quite a few people sad. The reactions were all about people being concerned about whether he could ever be productive in the NBA again.
“This is sad man hopefully he gets better soon.”
“What is going on? I hope he’s ok but this has been going on for over a year.”
“It’s hard to believe he’ll ever be the same again.”
“Lonzo deserves so much more than this.”
“Life can be really cruel sometimes.”
“This hurts… his doctors need to be investigated.”
“When healthy this kid had the Bulls as a top 5 team. Need him to recover.”
“I hope he can bounce back, doubt it though.”
“That’s sad, it seems like this might be the end of his career.”
“I believe in Lonzo, he’ll be back.”
“I’m praying for this man.”
The hope will be that the additional recovery time will help Lonzo Ball get better and return to the court. He is only 25, and it would be a huge shame if an injury like this ended his career.
The Timeline Of Lonzo Ball’s Freak Injury
Lonzo Ball last played in the NBA in January of 2022, over a year ago now. What was a serious knee injury had seemed like it might heal in time for the Bulls’ playoff run. But it didn’t, and they crashed out of the first round. After that, many thought Ball would be back in time for the next season, but even that came into doubt in the offseason.
Lonzo opened up on his freakish injury late in 2022, revealing that the situation was way more serious than fans realized. There were still those that expected a potential early 2023 return, but now he will not be back on the court till October, if at all. All we can do is hope he recovers completely, but the outlook remains bleak for now.
