Lonzo Ball will undergo a third surgery on his left knee that is expected to cost him most, if not all, of the 2023-24 season

He looks great in his first game back.

Looked WAY better than I thought he would. I wonder how many games they realistically can get out of him.

If he can play 20-25MPG for 60+ games that’s a miracle

Glad he’s back.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He's just a great glue guy man. Just makes everything around him work. Sucks how his career has gone but let's hope he plays a full season, like 65+ games.

I would almost say he’s very very much a glue now. The game literally looks so much smoother when he’s on the court

Jumper prettier than ever too. He do all the winning plays and sets his team up with success with or without the ball.

Some of the little things I saw tonight was just pretty basketball

2 plays stood out… both were just him cutting to the basket. If he had more high IQ passers. One he had to change because he wanted a lob but dude just passed it so he had to reverse.

One was a slip screen for Lavine that left Lonzo wide open. People forget he used to play with Lamelo so he knows how to get open

He looked like he was moving great from the HL clip I've seen

Too many guards on that roster that need the minutes too.

Zo & Caruso had some crazy multiplier affect on the rest of the team. It was like adding some HOF badges on 2k lmao. They had the Bulls at the 1 seed before Zo went down. Zo just enhances everyone else around him, great player, hopefully the return can be sustainable

 

[Blackrogue]

Wishing him the best. Hope he has no setbacks and gets to have a long career.

Lonzo always seemed like a good dude. I don't expect much from him ever again but I hope he can walk away from the game on his own terms.

I'll always wonder how his career and injuries would have turned out if Lavar didn't force that BBB bullshyt on him. It's hard for me to believe wearing those pieces of shyt didn't cause the start of his injuries which built up over time to his knee getting destroyed.

Melo w puma and still got ankle issues every year. It’s not the shoes it’s the Ball

 

[Lord Beasley]

That's a sight to see and legit brought a tear of joy to my eye. I really thought he would never play again

Billy already bumped his minutes up to 17 last night. He still has his shot and his instincts and IQ are well intact.

Defensively he lost a step, but there are moments where he's flying around and I'm watching like...



This recovery is unprecedented and his journey low-key could potentially be a logical option for future players that are basically bone to bone/need micro fracture surgery

Rooting for him to do well/be healthy
