Lonzo Ball's return tour has been put on hold, but fortunately not because of his knee. The Chicago Bulls announced Tuesday that Ball is dealing with a right wrist sprain that will keep him out for at least 10 days, after which time he'll be reevaluated.

Ball suffered the injury during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

While this injury is a disheartening event amid Ball's long-awaited return, the silver lining is that his knee isn't the reason for this absence.

Ball, who's averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes per game this season, will miss approximately five games given the Bulls' provided timeline.
