ANALYSIS: All signs are pointing to Lonzo being done for the season, which really stinks for both him and the Bulls because he demonstrated how vital he was to the team's success early on. Even worse, this is more of the same for Lonzo's career, as yet again, he will have missed significant time when the season wraps up. One cannot deny how unique of a talent Lonzo is, just as one cannot deny that he is very injury-prone.
