The Chicago Bulls desperately need Lonzo Ball back on the court.
The talented point guard looked like a natural fit as soon as he arrived in the Windy City, but that mysterious knee injury has put the rest of his career in doubt.
Lonzo has already been ruled out to play this season, but he was still in attendance at Media Day.

Lonzo on how he’s feeling:
“Pretty good. About halfway through the rehab process. Got a long ways ahead of me, but each week I’ve been progressing, I’m just trying to stay positive and take it day by day.
