Lonzo Ball of the Bulls is excited to play on opening night next season 

Following a prolonged struggle with a difficult knee injury, Lonzo Ball, the tough point guard for the Chicago Bulls, has declared his unwavering belief in making a victorious comeback to the court for the forthcoming season opener.

Ball's exercise of his player option for the 2024–25 campaign means the Bulls will be welcoming back a player whose first half-season on the squad showcased his significant effect. Before his injury, Ball averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals in 35 games. With him back, the Bulls' performance might improve dramatically. Reintegrating Ball into the lineup should be an interesting dynamic, as young guards like Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu have risen up in his absence. The player has been absent from the court since January 14, 2022. The player battled with injury for a long time and ultimately underwent a cartilage transplant to return back to the court.
