ANALYSIS: Lonzo has been out with this meniscus tear since January, and the recovery was supposed to last six to eight weeks. This latest update is pretty discouraging because it continues to leave the team in the dark regarding his possible return. Ball played an integral role in the Bulls success, as the Bulls were 27-13 before he went down, then proceeded to go 19-23 the rest of the way. They suffered other costly injuries too, but losing Ball was the turning point.
