The Chicago Bulls have shocked the NBA by winning eight of their last ten games, and they have done so without being fully healthy.
Standout point guard Lonzo Ball has not touched the court in March, missing 12 consecutive games for the Bulls due to a right wrist sprain. Ball’s absence puts a damper on Chicago’s guard depth, but his return might take longer than expected.
The Bulls are set to host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, but Ball will not be able to return to face the team that drafted him second overall in 2017.
