what happened to lonzo ball

Lonzo Ball, a point guard for the Chicago Bulls, has been dealing with a knee injury that has kept him out of games since January 2022. He has undergone multiple surgeries on his left knee, including a cartilage transplant. According to reports, the Bulls privately believe that Balls playing days are over due to lingering knee issues. He is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 NBA season due to his injury. Despite his injury, Ball had a productive season in 2021-22, averaging 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals in 35 games for the Bulls. The Bulls have been using a combination of Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, Goran Dragic, and Patrick Beverley to fill the void left by Ball's absence.
