There is still a final decision to be made, but there's less and less optimism that Lonzo Ball will return this season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. As Billy Donovan said, there's a conversation among the Bulls and Ball's reps in the coming days.

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.
