In the time since then Lonzo Ballbasis of Chicago Bulls, suffered a left meniscus tear last January, The details of his rehabilitation and recovery have become more troubling.
In January, Ball took six to eight weeks to recover, but the 24-year-old faced many setbacks which kept him out for the rest of the regular season, as well as Chicago’s brief playoff run. A period that ended more than three months after the initial procedure.
As the Bulls prepared for the start of spring practice it was revealed that Ball was not with the team but in Los Angeles preparing to undergo further surgery on his left knee. Unable to attend Media Day, the point guard met with reporters virtually and explained that surgery was the only option, as “I can’t really run or jump. And until I can do those things, I can’t play.”
Given the troubling nature of Ball’s injury schedule, The SportingNews contact the medical specialist Dr. Michael S. George of KSF Orthopedic Center in Houston, who took a closer look at the possible causes of Lonzo Ball’s injuries and what that means for his future.
Medical expert analysis of Lonzo Ball’s injury
Why did Lonzo Ball get another knee surgery?
“Lonzo Ball had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, also called a knee endoscopy. This is the same joint he had surgery on in January and this is his third operation in the same location.
“It was reported that the surgery in January was to treat a torn meniscus. The usual recovery for such surgery is usually four to six weeks. The fact that he was unable to return at the end of the season suggests that the knee is still having residual problems. This can range from continued inflammation to more meniscal tears, cartilage damage and arthritis.”
Should there be long-term concerns surrounding Lonzo Ball’s recent injury history?
“The exact cause of your ongoing symptoms would determine your short-term and long-term outcome. If your knee has not developed cartilage damage or arthritis, then you should expect to make a full recovery from your recent surgery with no long-term problems. If there are cartilage problems of the joint, then this may be a problem that remains.
When can we expect Lonzo Ball to play again after his latest knee surgery?
“He was reported to be reevaluated in four to six weeks, suggesting that this operation was a simple debridement of inflamed tissue or a meniscal tear, as opposed to a more complex surgical procedure.”
“Even if this surgery solves his problem, it will probably take him longer to recover than a standard knee arthroscopy, since he can’t play fully for an extended period of time.”

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
