The Chicago Bulls will have to defend their leadership in the Eastern Conference without their conductor, a Lonzo Ball who will have to go through the operating room in the next few days to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The 24-year-old point guard, who has the best shooting percentages of his career, will miss almost two months of competition, although he should be ready with time to spare for the playoffs.
The player, who had missed Chicago’s last three games due to a knee injury, has been re-evaluated in recent hours. It was then that the tear in the meniscus was found and the operation was chosen., which will take place in the next few days at a clinic in California.
Ball already underwent the same operation in July 2018 and arrived in time to start preseason with the Los Angeles Lakers that season. The base is being a key piece of the renewed Bulls with averages of 13 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game in 35 games since arriving in Chicago, leader of the East with a record of 28 wins and 15 losses.
