Lonzo Ball talked in Paris today. While he expressed no concern his lingering knee issue could be career-threatening, he acknowledges he still has no timetable to return but is staying upbeat and positive amid minor progress.

Lonzo Ball talked today in Paris. Said he’s remaining mentally strong after 1-year absence and making progress but still experiencing some discomfort. He still wants to play but is realistic about possibility of running out of runway to return this season. – 11:19 AM

Today marks 1 year since Lonzo Ball last played in an NBA game. Desired roster continuity has been elusive for management. Will that lead to change by next month’s trade deadline?

It’s been a full year since Lonzo Ball last played basketball.
And despite small improvements and hopeful IG posts, Ball’s future with the Bulls remains uncertain.

Billy Donovan was very, very hesitant to voice any excitement over the videos Lonzo Ball posted today of himself dunking, jumping on one leg and running on a treadmill.
He emphasized that “running, cutting, sprinting, doing it day after day after day” is still a long ways off. – 6:34 PM

Tomorrow marks 1 year since Lonzo Ball played in an NBA game. Billy Donovan emphasized that Ball would need a long runway to return to play once he has been cleared for cutting and full-speed daily on-court running, which he hasn’t yet. – 6:21 PM

There’s excitement over the Lonzo Ball IG post, but relax. He’s still dealing with discomfort in those activities… just less. – 6:20 PM

More on this storyline
Patiently answering question after question about a seemingly interminable rehabilitation process that still has no timetable for his return, Ball emphasized that he’s remaining mentally strong following two surgical procedures on his left knee and that he still hopes to return this season. But Ball also acknowledged given that he has yet to be cleared for cutting or running full speed daily and needs a significant ramp-up period if he gets that clearance without issue, he’s running out of time. -via NBC Sports / January 16, 2023
“I mean, naturally, yeah, everything is on a time schedule,” Ball said, when asked about the possibility of running out of time. “But I’m trying to stay positive, keep my hopes up. “I would love to play. I would never count that out. It’s a long year, I feel like we’re hitting our stride right now. So hopefully I can keep getting better, the team will keep getting better and we can meet up.” -via NBC Sports / January 16, 2023
Asked why he posted the videos to social media, Ball had a ready answer. “Just that the process was starting. To be able to do something, getting back on the floor a little bit, starting to run on the treadmill,” he said. “Obviously, there’s still some discomfort and some hitching in there. But it’s the process of getting everything started. -via NBC Sports / January 16, 2023
