The Bulls doctors still have no idea how long it’s going to take for the discomfort in Lonzo Ball’s left knee to fully subside since the point guard was officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday, but they do know where he’s going to be.
According to coach Billy Donovan, the immediate plan was for Ball to stay with the team for as long as the season goes on, continuing a rehab program throughout.
What seemed to be ruled out, however, was Ball undergoing another surgery.
“I have not heard anything or no one has told anything to me that he will need another surgery,’’ Donovan said on Friday.
