Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball recovered from a knee ailment that caused him to suffer numerous setbacks after taking a two-year break from the court. Although he is on a minutes limit and isn’t playing back-to-backs, he returned with some caution.
Sadly, Ball has experienced yet another setback. This time, the Chicago guard had a wrist injury.
Ball sprained his right wrist and will be out for at least the next ten days, according to the Bulls. It’s a difficult break, but at least Ball’s ankles and knees aren’t affected. While he works to regain his form, he will be able to rest on his knee.
Ball appears to be sidelined for at least the next six Bulls games while he heals from his wrist injury. His effect will be compensated for by Chicago’s youthful guard rotation.
The team has compensated for Ball’s absence this offseason with Josh Giddey, so they should be ready to compete without the point guard.
The 26-year-old guard played 15.7 minutes per game in three games, averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.
