Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has opted to have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, the team announced Thursday.
Ball is expected to travel to California in the coming days to have the arthroscopic procedure to repair a meniscus tear, a source told ESPN.
The Bulls and Ball's agent -- Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul -- had discussed options with doctors, but the procedure was deemed necessary after a recent change in nonsurgical treatment didn't allow Ball to play through what's described as a slight meniscus tear, sources said.
