The Chicago Bulls do not anticipate Lonzo Ball being available to play during the 23-24 season after he also missed the entire 22-23 season.

“Our expectation is that he's not going to be back next season," said Arturas Karnisovas after the draft.

Ball hasn't played since January when he tore his meniscus. Ball has since undergone multiple surgeries. 

Ball is signed through the 24-25 season.
