As a standout at UCLA before being drafted by the Lakers in 2017, Ball has faced multiple injuries, including a severe knee issue that has kept him sidelined. Lonzo hasn’t appeared on an NBA court since January 2022.
“[Recovery is] going well,” the 26-year-old guard said.
When asked if he expects to be ready for the upcoming NBA season, which begins in the fall, Ball confidently replied, “[Fans can expect] me back on the court. That’s all I want to do.”
This upcoming season marks the final year of his contract, with him set to become a free agent in 2025.
