On Wednesday night, Chicago Bulls fans finally got what they’ve been waiting for: Lonzo Ball gracing the court once again. The former No. 2 overall pick, who had been sidelined for over two years due to knee surgeries, was welcomed back with thunderous applause and standing ovations. Ball made his highly anticipated return in a preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it didn’t take long for him to show that he still has what it takes. Just 30 seconds into the game, he hit a sweet corner 3-pointer, reminding fans why he was sorely missed during his absence.
Despite going through three arthroscopic procedures on his left knee, Lonzo expressed that his rehabilitation journey was “a lot faster than I thought.” These trials and tribulations could have discouraged many, but Lonzo stayed focused on his goal of rejoining his team. When asked how it felt to be back, he was "full of joy," radiating positive vibes not only for himself but for the entire Bulls organization. As the game progressed, the crowd erupted with excitement every time he touched the ball, showcasing just how impactful his presence is on the team.
Throughout his 15 minutes on the floor, Ball contributed a solid 10 points, showcasing his versatility as a playmaker and shooter. It wasn't just about the numbers; his energy and enthusiasm instantly rejuvenated the Bulls. The bond he shares with his teammates became even more palpable, as they rallied around their star guard during the game. Fans could hardly contain their excitement, eagerly anticipating what this season holds now that their beloved number 2 is back on the court.
To add a sweet cherry on top of this comeback story, Lonzo Ball not only scored 10 points but also helped lead the Bulls to a nail-biting 125-123 victory over the Timberwolves. It’s these small victories that spark hope and remind us all why sports hold such a special place in our hearts. Fun fact: In his last complete season before the injury, Lonzo had a career-high scoring average of 14.6 points per game! Furthermore, he’s known for his exceptional passing skills, which earned him a reputation as one of the league’s up-and-coming playmakers. Now that Lonzo is back, Bulls fans are dreaming big for the upcoming season!
