Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball will undergo a third surgical procedure on his left knee in 14 months and concerns persist about his eventual ability to resume his career, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
The surgery could cost him most -- if not all -- of the 2023-24 season, sources said.
Ball -- who hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 14, 2022, and already has been ruled out of the 2022-23 season -- has undergone two surgeries on the troublesome knee, and there's growing pressure for the next procedure to give him a pathway to heal so he can play again, sources said.
