CHICAGO -- As Lonzo Ball checked into his first NBA game in more than 2½ years on Wednesday night, the United Center crowd serenaded him with a standing ovation. He threw his hands in the air and tapped his heart, acknowledging the crowd before playing for the first time since Jan. 14, 2022.
Ball was restricted to 15 minutes, but finished with 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting in Chicago's preseason victory against Minnesota.
