When Billy Donovan says the Lonzo Ball rehab progress remains slow, he’s not underselling it.
According to the Bulls coach, Ball has gone from shooting set shots on the practice court to now “jumping a little bit’’ on those shots. He’s also started some light jogging, as opposed to just jogging on the antigravity treadmill.
“It is progressing, it’s just really slow,’’ Donovan said on Saturday. “But there have definitely been some improvements and he’s physically doing more than the last time we spoke.’’
That doesn’t mean there’s a timetable for a possible Ball return this season, and it doesn’t mean that the Bulls are writing that off, either.
