CHICAGO — Once again, an update from the Bulls on their top point guard wasn't as positive as they or fans might have hoped. Yet the news on Lonzo Ball that came out late Thursday night probably wasn't a surprise, either. While noting that the guard has made some progress in his recovery from his latest knee surgery, executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas said that the Bulls are expecting Ball to miss the entire 2023-2024 season.This comes after the point guard missed the second half of the 2021-2022 season and the entire 2022-2023 season after undergoing three surgeries on his left knee. His most recent, a cartilage transplant surgery, took place in March. "He's recovering nicely. I think last month he got off the crutches. He's recovering, doing his rehab, everything is going well," said Karnisovas of Ball. "Going into the offseason, I think our expectation is that he's not coming back next season, and he's going to continue on his recovery."If he comes back, it would be grea...Jack Hanna no longer remembers most family members as Alzheimer's progresses, report says
