Lonzo Ball has picked up his $21.4 million player option with the Chicago Bulls for the 24-25 season.

Ball hasn’t played since January 2022 and it is uncertain if he will play again.

Ball signed a four-year, $80 million deal with the Bulls during the 2021 offseason.

Dallas Mavericks reserve big man Maxi Kleber has suffered a full dislocation of the AC joint in his right shoulder. Kleber is expected to miss a significant period of time, and potentially the remainder of the postseason.

Kleber played a big part in the Mavericks six-game victory over the LA Clippers in the first round of the 2024 playoffs. Kelber hit 10-of-18 three-pointers in the series and averaged 5.7 points in 19.3 minutes per game.
