Lonzo Ball will play his first game since 2022 against Minnesota Timberwolves on October 16th. If he plays in the new 2024-25 season, he will become the first NBA player to comeback to the court after having a cartilage transplant.

Lonzo Ball plans to return for the Chicago Bulls' final three preseason games and the season opener on October 23. Ball, who last played in January 2022, is focused on regaining full fitness after a lengthy recovery

Speaking on The WAE Show, Lonzo Ball shared that he is targeting a return to the Chicago Bulls lineup after being sidelined by knee problems for nearly two years.

The point guard confirmed he intends to participate in the team’s final three preseason games, with the goal of being ready for the season opener on October 23.

Ball has not played since January 2022, when knee injuries derailed his season.

During his last campaign, he averaged 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, while also shooting 42.3% from beyond the arc.

Ball's knee injuries have been a major setback, as he has undergone multiple surgeries during his recovery process.

His absence has been felt, but his return could provide depth and versatility to the Bulls’ backcourt.
