Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball could return to action next season despite concerns over a knee injury that has kept him out of action since December 2021.

Recent news about his recovery is positive, with Ball taking up running and sharing videos fueling optimism about his return. Although he has not yet resumed contact training or participated in 5-on-5 games, the Bulls’ environment is confident.
His contract situation calls for a salary of 21.3 million for the 2024-2025 season, making a contract termination or trade unlikely, so it is likely that if he returns, it will be with the Bulls.
There’s a ‘growing buzz’ that Lonzo Ball will play next season, per @KCJHoop
“There’s growing buzz from some who talk to Ball that he’ll play next season.”
