Despite missing his seventh consecutive game due to a right wrist injury, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball remains determined to return to action before the end of the regular season. Bulls coach Billy Donovan insists that there is no intention to shut Ball down, emphasizing the player's ongoing efforts to recover and get back on the court. Ball, who previously sat out the first 15 games of the season with a wrist injury, has been sidelined once again, raising concerns about his availability for the remainder of the schedule.
Donovan revealed that Ball did not join the team on a recent road trip and continues to work towards a comeback based on his own comfort and readiness. With just 15 games left in the regular season, the Bulls are hopeful that Ball will be able to contribute as they push for a playoff spot. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his timeline for return, Ball's determination and the absence of any definitive plans for surgery in the offseason suggest that he is focused on making a meaningful impact for his team when he is ready to return to action on the court.
