Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Sitting out Friday
Ball won't play in Friday's game versus the Bucks due to left knee surgery injury management.
Ball returned to action Wednesday after more than a two-year absence due to knee injuries. However, the Bulls will play it cautiously with the 27-year-old guard on the first night of a back-to-back Friday. Ball should be able to suit up for Saturday's matchup with Oklahoma City, albeit on a minutes restriction.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Solid outing off bench
Ball supplied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to New Orleans.
Ball made his first regular-season appearance since January of 2022 on Wednesday after missing extended time with multiple knee injuries. The 26-year-old guard was on a minutes restriction and played exactly the 14 minutes that coach Billy Donovan expected he would. While Ball will likely continue to play limited minutes during the season, it was a good sign to see him back on the court healthy.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Will have major restrictions
Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that Ball (knee) will likely play 14-16 minutes during Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pelicans, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
It's safe to assume Ball, who saw game action during the preseason for the first time since January of 2022, will face heavy minute restrictions for the entire season. He looked sharp during his limited preseason action, showcasing the improved three-point shot he developed before knee injuries derailed his career. However, if he's consistently playing less than 20 minutes, it'll be difficult for Ball to crack fantasy radars in standard leagues.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Scores 11 points off bench
Ball delivered 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 16 minutes off the bench in Friday's 139-137 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Ball had another stong showing in the preseason finale and seems set to be part of the rotation on Opening Night. The 26-year-old has not played in a regular-season game since January of 2022, and he will likely be limited to begin the 2024-25 campaign, but he figures to see his workload increase as the season progresses.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Playing on restriction Friday
Coach Wes Unseld said Ball (knee) will play under a minutes restriction in Friday's preseason finale against the Cavaliers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Ball will suit up for the preseason finale as the club works him back to playing form before Opening Night. The 26-year-old has not played in a regular-season game since January of 2022, and he will likely be limited to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Gets 15 minutes in return to action
Ball notched 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and a blocked shot across 15 minutes in Wendesday's 125-123 win over the Timberwolves.
Ball's first appearance since January of 2022 exceeded expectations, as his knee injury didn't appear to be a major concern despite a brace that was clearly visible. Ball's injury was serious enough to require a meniscus transplant and cartilage transplant to repair his knee, so the Bulls will take things slowly with their former first-round pick. Absences in back-to-back games will likely be a regular occurrence for Ball this season, and while his return is a cause of concern for fantasy managers who are invested in Coby White or Josh Giddey, Ball's minutes will be limited for the foreseeable future.

Ball is set to taste his first live action since January of 2022. He made it clear that he's going to have to manage his knee all season, and that will include sitting out one game of back-to-back sets, so fantasy managers should temper expectations. He's likely to have minute restrictions for the foreseeable future as well.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Setback-free in camp
Ball (knee) is participating in training camp with no setbacks, with a continued target of Opening Night for a return to action, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
Ball appears to be on track to suit up Oct. 23 when the Bulls travel to New Orleans to kick off the 2024-25 season. While two days of training camp can yield premature optimism, Ball continuing to ramp up only bodes well for returning to the court for the first time since Jan. 14, 2022.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Targeting Opening Night
Bulls vice president Arturas Karnisovas said Monday that he's hoping to have Ball (knee) cleared to play for Opening Night, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
The Bulls are planning to bring Ball along slowly in training camp, and he may not do live 5-on-5 scrimmages as a precaution. It's worth noting, however, that Ball has played 5-on-5 in pickup settings. There have been several positive updates on Ball's health in recent weeks which has the Bulls excited for obvious reasons. According to the point guard, he's anticipating restrictions for this season, including not playing in both games of back-to-back sets.
