The Chicago Bulls have a new timeline for Lonzo Ball. The guard returned to the court this month after recovering from a knee injury from the 2021-22 season. The 27-year-old has played in three regular-season games, logging 48 minutes of play.

Ball has looked good on the court this season, making 35.7 % of his shots and 33.3 % of his attempts from behind the three-point line on a Bulls team that is 2-2 following Monday night’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

But Ball will not be on the court for a while.

The Bulls were expected to sit Ball during some of their games this season because of the fluid nature of his knee after multiple surgeries.

A 10-day window means the Ball will not play until at least Nov. 9, when the Bulls travel to Atlanta to play the Hawks. Chicago has five contests before that game.
