Last night, a few hours before this wonderful Game 6 between the Celtics and the Heat, a question was making the rounds on the networks and at the same time threw a chill in the NBA community: will Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball play a game again? basketball day?
The question does not come from nowhere, it is the fruit of the reflection, the questions of Dan Bernstein, insider, podcaster and well-known milling cutter in Chicago
The Chicago Bulls privately don’t think that it’s likely Lonzo Ball will ever play again, per @dan_bernstein on Organizations Win Championship Podcast.

Why does the case of Lonzo Ball question so much? Already because we are talking about a young (not so young…) player who was predicted to have a bright future (n°2 of the 2017 Draft), a player who was put very quickly on the front of the stage because he came from a well-known siblings of the NBA microcosm, all spiced up by the din made for a time by his… father, Lavar, a big mouth assumed and sometimes a little too present around his sons.
In short, what happens to him in Lonzo?
It happens to him that he has a stewed knee. Not your mum’s compote, eh, the one that smells of the garden and where there are two or three pieces left to eat, no, the old Pom’Potes from Aldi, liquid and bland. Three knee operations, a cartilage transplant, no basketball for a year and a half, it’s starting to do for a 25-year-old sse-go, whose last outings with the Bulls had been applauded by Lonzito’s propensity to be versatile, fierce defender and shooter who has become very respectable.
There had been precocity records, there had been hype when he landed at the Lakers, and today Lonzo is above all… only one full season since his Draft and in total more than 200 missed games in six seasons .
Lonzo Ball now has two years left on his contract (including one with a player option), but the condition of his knee raises questions to such an extent that some wonder if he will ever be able to rest his foot on it. a wooden floor. Terrible, ter-rible for the Bulls point guard.
