CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls expressed optimism on Thursday following guard Lonzo Ball's latest surgery to address the lingering discomfort in his left knee, but his timeline to return to the court remains uncertain.
Bulls coach Billy Donovan met with director of athletic performance Chip Schaefer, who was in Los Angeles earlier in the week for Ball's surgery, before practice on Thursday and received reports that Ball's second knee operation since January "went well" and that Ball was in good spirits.
However, Donovan acknowledged that until Ball resumes his rehab process, it's difficult to determine when the Bulls might get their point guard back.
