As Bulls guard Lonzo Ball approached the group of reporters, the first words out of his mouth perfectly described his predicament: “Can’t catch a break,” he said.

Ball suffered a right wrist sprain in the first quarter of Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies when he went for a steal and tried to brace his fall.

Ball was wearing a brace as he addressed the assembled media. Doctors told Ball to hold it still for 10 days and let the swelling subside before a revaluation.
