Bulls' Lonzo Ball has torn meniscus, mulling options
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball has been diagnosed with a small meniscus tear in his left knee.
What It Means:
There is "hope" that Ball can play through the issue, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, but the alternative is a "minor procedure" that would sideline Ball for several weeks. The Bulls have already ruled Ball out for their upcoming three-game road trip. Coby White, Alex Caruso, and Ayo Dosunmu are all in line for more work while Ball is inactive.
White is averaging 32.7 FanDuel points and 36.3 minutes over the last three games with Ball unavailable. Dosunmu is averaging 42.8 FanDuel points and 38.8 minutes in that same span.
