Lonzo Ball's injuries threaten Chicago Bulls' success
Lonzo Ball has faced ongoing injury issues, missing two full seasons from 2022 to 2024. After signing a two-year, $20 million extension, he has been placed on the injury list three times since February, missing 10 of 15 games. Ball's performance has declined, averaging career lows in minutes, points, assists, and rebounds this season. The Bulls extended his contract, hoping he would recover, but his injury history raises concerns about his ability to contribute consistently. With Ball's health uncertain, Tre Jones has emerged as a strong candidate for a key role in the Bulls' rotation. Jones has performed well since joining the team, suggesting Chicago may rely on him moving forward.
