After more than two years of receiving bad news one after another, it seems that Lonzo Ball is beginning to have a good streak. The Bulls point guard, who has not played since December 2021 due to a strange knee injury, has been able to sprint and work on the track for about a month now. Although he is still far from training with contact. The franchise sees his recent evolution with optimism and believes that it is more than likely that Ball will be able to play again next season.
With this on the table, his salary situation and that of the Bulls themselves take on greater relevance. The injury has caused Chicago to deduct his salary from the total space. However, if he returned, the 21.3 million agreed for 24-25 (player option) would put the franchise in a complicated situation to avoid the luxury tax. Especially if they want DeMar DeRozan to return to the team.
According to the journalist NBC Chicago KC Johnson, the Bulls would not be thinking about a contract termination. Nor transfer it, since the market for it right now is zero. The most likely thing, whatever the circumstances, is that, if he returns next season, Lonzo will do so in a Bulls uniform.
