The veteran point guard should be fine when the Bulls return to action Feb. 20 in New York.

Lonzo Ball Latest News
Officially ruled out

Ball (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. Ball missed last Wednesday's game, the second night of a back-to-back set, due to injury management of his left knee, but then he got sick and will miss his third straight game due to an illness. The veteran point guard should be fine when the Bulls return to action Feb. 20 in New York.
Unlikely to play Wednesday

Ball (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Ball missed last Wednesday's game, the second night of a back-to-back set, due to injury management of his left knee, but then he got sick and missed the next two games, including the first half of Chicago's current back-to-back. Ball will likely remain sidelined Wednesday, Chicago's final game before the All-Star break, but he should be fine when the Bulls return to action Feb. 20 in New York.
Ruled out for Tuesday

Ball (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Detroit. Ball will miss his third consecutive contest Tuesday due to an illness. His next chance to play will come in the second leg of the club's back-to-back set against Detroit on Wednesday. With the 27-year-old guard sidelined, Tre Jones and Talen Horton-Tucker could see a bump in playing time.
Doubtful for Tuesday

Ball (illness) is not expected to play Tuesday against the Pistons, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Ball appears likely to miss a third straight game and was unable to practice Monday. He doesn't play in both games of back-to-back sets anyway, so he'll have an extra day to recover to potentially suit up in a rematch versus Detroit on Wednesday.
Ruled out Saturday

Ball (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports. After missing Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves, Ball will miss a second straight game for Chicago as he battles an illness. The veteran guard had started eight games in a row for the Bulls, averaging 9.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 33.8 percent from the floor and 32.7 percent from beyond the arc. The team will likely continue to Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu to help shoulder the load in the backcourt, with the 27-year-old needing more time to get back on the floor.
Iffy for Saturday

Ball (illness) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Ball missed Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves and could miss a second straight game while battling an illness. The veteran guard recently secured his future beyond this season with the Bulls, inking a two-year contract extension with the team. The 27-year-old is averaging career-low numbers across the board but has shown flashes during the 2024-25 campaign, convincing the team he was worth committing to for the next two seasons.
Doesn't practice Friday

Ball (knee) didn't participate in Friday's practice due to an illness, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Ball missed Chicago's previous contest, the second night of a back-to-back set, due to left knee management. However, it now appears that an illness could cause Ball to sit out Saturday's game against the Warriors, which could pave the way for Kevin Huerter (recently traded), Talen Horton-Tucker (lower leg) and Jevon Carter to receive increased playing time.
Inks two-year contract extension

Ball reportedly signed a two-year, $20 million contract extension with the Bulls on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline, the Bulls have signed Ball to a two-year contract extension. The veteran guard was thought to be on the trading block but avoided being dealt while securing his short-term future with the team. The 30-year-old is averaging 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 21.6 minutes per game for Chicago this season.
Ruled out Wednesday

Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. After missing a good portion of the first half of the 2024-25 season for the Bulls, Ball hasn't missed much time recently. However, the veteran point guard will miss Wednesday's game in Minnesota due to injury management of his left knee. This is precautionary because of his injury history and the matchup against the Timberwolves being the second game of a back-to-back for the Bulls. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu could see more time on the floor due to Ball's absence.
