Lonzo Ball’s new workout video shows him moving comfortably and making sharp turns Originally appeared in NBC Sports Chicago
Bulls Point guard Lonzo Ball is attempting to make a historic return to the NBA after missing nearly three years due to three separate knee surgeries.
Ball’s workout videos have been popping up all offseason, but a new one, posted by his trainer, Chris Johnson, on Instagram, shows Ball moving comfortably on the court and making precise cuts.
Following the NBA Draft, Vice President Artūras Karnišovas spoke to the media to share some news. updates on their injured playersincluding Ball.
“He’s progressing,” Karnišovas said of Lonzo Ball. “We don’t know how he’ll be in a month or two. We’re just going to take it step by step and hopefully he’ll be ready for training camp. He’s still working. He’s coming here to train and then he’s continuing his work in Los Angeles. We’ll get in touch next week. I think he’ll be with the team in the summer league as well.”
Ball is apparently at the end of a nearly three-year recovery from three separate knee surgeries he has undergone since January 2022. He is attempting an unlikely comeback from injuries to his right knee of significant proportions, including a cartilage transplant.
But according to Karnišovas, he has almost fully recovered.
“He is able to do almost everything he can on the court,” Karnišovas said. “We are continuing to strengthen him and, as I said, in the next two months we will see how he develops.”
The Bulls expect Ball to return to training camp in the fall. Stay tuned.
