CLEVELAND – Lonzo Ball can’t catch a break.
Eyeing the possibility of playing in an NBA basketball game on Tuesday – his first one since Jan. 14, 2022 – the Bulls medical staff and Ball decided to sit the preseason opener out, and no, not because of the left knee.
It seems that right before fall camp started, Ball fought through a nasty bout of Covid, which left him missing a week of workouts, while also losing some strength and weight.
