CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls are going to "pull back" the rehab process on guard Lonzo Ball's left knee for the next 10 days, coach Billy Donovan said prior to Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
Ball will continue strength training, but will not continue his running program after hitting a plateau in his rehab. It will push him past the initial 6-8 week recovery timeline the team estimated after Ball's arthroscopic knee surgery in January.
"The feeling was, let's really pull back on what he's doing and let's let him, I don't want to use the word rest because it's not like he's sitting around doing nothing -- he'll do strength training and those kind of things -- but take a break on the running and trying to ramp him up," Donovan said.
