LeBron James Shows Love To Bulls’ Lonzo Ball After Making Return

After surgeries not working to repair Ball’s knee, his NBA career became in jeopardy. Thankfully, he found an operation that fixed his left knee, giving him a new meniscus.

In 15 minutes, the 26-year-old looked great after missing two years of action. He put up 10 points on 4-for-6 from the field and 2-for-4 from 3-point range, which can do wonders for Ball heading into the regular season after missing so much time.

It will be interesting to monitor the kind of role he has for a rebuilding Bulls team and his workload since missing an extensive period of time. With Zach LaVine, Coby White and Josh Giddey starting, who knows what Ball’s role will be this season, but just the fact that he is healthy and on the court is great to see.

Bulls’ Lonzo Ball admits he would’ve traded himself for Anthony Davis

All of Lonzo Ball’s dreams came to fruition early in his career after for Chino Hills in high school, UCLA in college and getting drafted by the Lakers. Then the cherry on top is playing with his favorite player of all-time LeBron James when he signed with the team in 2018.

Unfortunately, injuries derailed the 2028-19 season for the Lakers and with Anthony Davis becoming available during the 2019 offseason, they jumped on it.

Now, five years removed from that blockbuster trade that included him, Ball shared no hard feelings about it. He would even go as far as to say that he would’ve traded himself for a player the caliber of Davis.
