A point guard, he played college basketball for one season with the UCLA Bruins, earning consensus first-team All-American honors before the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the second overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2018.
As a high school senior at Chino Hills High School in 2016, Ball was awarded multiple national high school player of the year honors, and led his team, alongside his brothers LiAngelo and LaMelo, who are both current professional basketball players, to an undefeated record, as well as a national championship.
Lonzo ball Knee injury
The pessimism about the start of the 2022-2023 NBA season of the Chicago Bulls is essentially due to one issue only, the health of the lonzo ball knee injury, who on Tuesday tried to explain what is wrong, due to the news that ignited concern in the “Windy City” about the need for a second surgery.
“There was a point where we would warm up and stuff, and I would go through certain days and it would be fine,” Ball said. “Then whenever I got to real basketball activities, I just couldn’t do it. Unfortunately, this is what’s at hand and has to be dealt with. We feel like surgery, again, is the best option.”
It should be recalled that in January of this year, Ball tore his meniscus and at that time there was talk that the player would undergo surgery on his knee and would be out for four to six weeks, at the end of the day that stage was extended and he did not return to play the rest of the season.
When Ball was expected to be fine for the start of this season, the player will miss at least a month again, after the second surgery, however, the bad news does not stop there because until that period of time passes, the pain must end to see if then we will see the player again in the NBA.
“I’ve never felt pain like this or was able to ramp up a little bit but never fully, so definitely a unique situation,” Ball said. “The doctors and the Bulls, we’re all trying to figure out what it is. Like I said, we all came to the conclusion that it’s time for surgery.”
