The Chicago Bulls' 2021-22 season came to an end on Wednesday night at the hands of the defending-champion Milwaukee Bucks. Now, the collective attention of fans in the "Windy City" will shift to topics like the NBA Draft, free agency and offseason trades.

Perhaps of more immediate concern is the health of starting point guard Lonzo Ball.

Lonzo Ball said his recovery remains "at a standstill" and he will meet with a knee specialist again next week. He was not sure whether he would require a second surgery this offseason

The former No. 2 overall pick was limited to a career-low 35 games this season after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee in January. Ball underwent surgery on Jan. 28 and had been ramping up his rehab in March in hopes of a possible postseason return.
