• Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Sprains wrist, out at least 10 days

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bulls announced Tuesday that Ball sustained a sprained right wrist in the first quarter of Monday's 126-123 win over the Grizzlies and will be re-evaluated in 10 days. After having not played since January 2022 while recovering from three operations on his left knee, Ball made his triumphant return to the court during the preseason and had suited up in three of the Bulls' first four games of the regular season, averaging 4.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 16.0 minutes per contest. Though Ball is now slated to miss some more time, the silver lining is that the injury isn't related to his knee. However, even if Ball is cleared to resume on-court work once he's re-evaluated, he may require a short ramp-up period before the Bulls clear him for game action, and he's likely to operate on a minute restriction for much of the season. During Ball's upcoming absence, the Bulls could find more minutes for Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Dalen Terry off the bench.

• Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Dealing with wrist soreness

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Ball is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to right wrist soreness. Given his lower-body injury history, it's encouraging that Ball isn't listed with knee injury management. However, the veteran guard is still in danger of missing his second game of the season. The severity of the wrist issue remains unclear, but if it sidelines Ball, Ayo Dosunmu would be a candidate for more minutes off the bench.

• Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Hands out six dimes Monday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Ball closed Monday's 126-123 win over Memphis with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one block across 18 minutes. Ball continues to play off the bench with a severe minutes restriction, but he's finding ways to make an impact every time he steps on the court. His assist-to-turnover ratio has been particularly impressive, as he's recorded 11 assists and just three turnovers through his first three games. Ball's fantasy upside will remain fairly low due to the restrictions regarding his playing time, but he's one player to keep close tabs on as soon as his workload increases.
