Times are tough for the Bulls right now. Already because of the sports results: two slaps against the Nets and the Warriors, then with a new defeat on the wire in Boston.
Then because the infirmary has been swelling for a few days: Alex Caruso has still not come out of the health protocol, Derrick Jones Jr. was injured for several weeks, just like Zach LaVine, hit in the left knee and dismissed, him, for only a few days.
Now comes to add to these worries that of Lonzo Ball. The leader, also injured in the left knee, was indeed not in uniform against the Celtics on Saturday evening and should not be either in Memphis on Monday.
“It’s been a while”, says Billy Donovan at NBC Sports, referring to his player’s knee pain. “I don’t think he hurt himself on any action in particular. They are simply accumulations of joint pain, which get worse over time. “
It doesn’t seem very serious, but the Chicago coach still explained that it was serious enough to keep him off the court for a few matches.
