Wojnarowski reported that the third procedure will sideline Ball for an additional six months for recovery and rehab, which would jeopardize his ability to be ready for the beginning of the 2023-23 season.
Ball and the Bulls organization have been ‘perplexed’ on why his knee is failing to recover and continuing to feel pain and discomfort in the rehab process.
The Bulls point guard has yet to take the floor since undergoing surgery to repair a small tear in his left meniscus in late-January of last season, which was followed up with a second procedure in September in hopes to eliminate the pain.
If it wasn’t concerning already, the future of Ball in this league is beginning to become unknown.
