Lonzo Ball's NBA Career in Jeopardy After Third Knee Surgery

Lonzo Ball will undergo his third left knee surgery in 14 months, raising concerns about his future in the NBA. The Bulls guard has one season plus a player option remaining on his four-year, $80 million deal. The contract is insured, but it remains on the Bulls’ books unless his injury is determined to be career-ending. Ball's injury has franchise ramifications for the Bulls, who have three guards set to become free agents this offseason. None of these players replicate what Ball brought to the team, from his defensive prowess to his 3-point marksmanship.
