Damn, Lonzo! Do the damn thing!
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball stepped on an NBA court for the first time in nearly three years, and quite frankly, it was an incredible sight to see.
Ball hasn’t suited up for Chicago since Jan. 14, 2022 because of several knee procedures that featured a cartilage transplant. Heading into preseason, with everything being uncharted for the Bulls, there was no clearance on how his knee was going to hold up when he started play.

Well, some of the questions were answered Wednesday night, as Ball made his preseason debut where he chalked up 15 minutes of action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After getting a standing ovation from the Chicago crowd, he almost immediately popped in a three-point shot after a flashy assist from center Nikola Vucevic.
And from there, my man flourished, finishing with a stat line of 10 points, one assist, one rebound, one steal and one block.
