If you are a Chicago Bulls fan, then you are certainly worried about the health of none other than Lonzo Ball. Ball is someone who was a huge contributor to the team last year. Overall, the Bulls were at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, and they were looking like true contenders. However, Lonzo eventually went down with a knee injury, and it became a massive issue for the Bulls. They immediately regressed, all while Ball began a rehab process that has turned into a complete disaster.
Months after his first surgery, it was revealed that Lonzo was still feeling pretty awful. According to reports, the point guard was not getting better at a rate that made sense. Consequently, the team opted to give Lonzo yet another surgery. However, this didn't help either. Ball still can't run or jump, and the team has shut him down for the remainder of the season. It's a sobering development that is hard to fathom. Overall, Lonzo's condition remains a mystery, and it seems like even the doctors themselves are confused.
Critical Lonzo Update
According to reporter Daniel Greenberg, Tristan Thompson had an update about Ball on ESPN. Essentially, Thompson spoke with Lonzo's agent and got a very interesting response. In his report, Thompson revealed that Ball has gone all across the country to speak with doctors. Pretty well every single doctor has been stunned by his condition. They even say it is a "unique injury that they have never seen before." This is very scary stuff for both Lonzo and the Bulls organization. At this point, there is no telling if and when he will come back. It's unfortunate, and it's hard not to feel empathy for Lonzo.
Typically, injuries are things that doctors have seen before. If a guy tears his ACL or tears his Achilles, it becomes clear what needs to be done. For Ball, however, there is no telling what the cure for him might be. Hopefully, he is able to figure it out soon. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the NBA world.
