Lonzo Ball Injury Status for Chicago Bulls vs. Brooklyn Nets

The Chicago Bulls may not be the most talked about team in the NBA, but they have been a very fun watch this early in the regular season. After a 20-point comeback against the Orlando Magic, they are now third with a 3-2 record.

What awaits the Chicago Bulls is the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Although Brooklyn is 2-3, they are also a team that just beat the Memphis Grizzlies. Chicago will probably have to manage the game shorthanded.

The Chicago Bulls have officially listed Lonzo Ball as out with a sprained right wrist. Ball is expected to miss 10 days of action with the Bulls and has already missed one game. Ball was injured during a 126-123 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

A previous MRI showed that Ball’s wrist sprain was between a grade 1 and 2 sprain. In a pre-interview about the injury, Ball said that if he played on it, he could be at risk of raise it to grade 3.

“If I play on it now while it’s still swollen, it could get to level 3. That would require surgery,” Ball said. “I’m obviously trying to avoid that. Let the swelling go down, hopefully tape it up and get back to it.”

This season, Lonzo Ball is averaging 4.7 points, 3.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds on 35.7% shooting from the field.

The Chicago Bulls take on the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. EST tonight.
