Lonzo Ball: 'I pretty much have a brand-new knee'


“I pretty much have a brand-new knee,” Ball said. “So it’s always going to be a little different than what God gave me to start off with. But I’m feeling good. I’m feeling healthy enough to play. That’s all that really matters, just managing it throughout the year and being available.”

“This is something that no one has really came back from. I’ll be the first.”
Lonzo Ball plans to return for the Chicago Bulls in the season opener on Oct. 23.
But his role and workload — and expectations for the future — are still uncertain.
