The Chicago Bulls are not expecting Lonzo Ball to be back again, third knee surgery, that's something the management doesn't like.
There's no team that likes it when a player can't play for an extended period of time because of injuries. I recently heard the news that Lonzo might miss most of next season because of this surgery, and that's too bad because the Bulls' management will run out of patience sooner or later. Honestly, Lonzo reminds me of guys like Brandon Roy and Greg Oden, who had good potential but were forced to end their NBA careers too early.
That is absolutely correct. I mean the club has the patience with the injured players but they don't like it all because they are losing money , contracts , views and more whenever a superstar is getting injured no matter the sport. For Lonzo , is hard to tell what his future will bring to him but I do hope he will have a strong comeback in 2 years from now if the recovery process will go without further interventions, because if not , like you said , he might be forced to retire which is sad.
