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.
Teams that have core players on the bench for an extended period of time are really not happy with it. Imagine losing someone temporarily that is centered to some strategies and fail-safe? That's a bummer. There might be some second option and backups for sure, but tactics will never be the same for a team that depends on this core player. The Bulls might even reconsider letting Lonzo go if his absence goes on for more time. Also, third knee surgery? That's rough. It will surely affect the way he plays and it's a new adjustment that the Bulls will have to work with and that's not really positive as time goes on for the Bulls.
