Bulls G Lonzo Ball (wrist) sidelined at least 10 days

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is on the shelf again, this time with a sprained right wrist.

An MRI confirmed the injury that will sideline him for at least 10 days, Ball told reporters on Wednesday.

Playing in just his third game since January 2022, Ball was injured when he fell during a steal attempt in the first quarter of Monday’s 126-123 win at Memphis.

“If I play on it right now while it’s still swollen, it could get to a Grade 3. That would require surgery,” Ball said, per ESPN, which said the MRI showed a sprain between Grades 1 and 2. “Trying to avoid that obviously. Let the swelling down, hopefully tape it up and get back to it.”

Ball played through the pain Monday and finished with six points and six assists in 18 minutes.

“An unfortunate moment, but it happens,” he said. “Hopefully I get over it as fast as possible and get back to business.”

Ball, who turned 27 on Sunday, is averaging 4.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 15.7 minutes in three games off the Chicago bench this season.

Drafted No. 2 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017, Ball missed the entire 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons after multiple surgeries on his left knee.

A 10-day timeline would keep Ball out of the lineup for six games.
