The makers of NBA 2K20 believe that Giannis Antetokuonmpo still has some work to do.
Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan isn’t ready to say Lonzo Ball has suffered a setback in his rehab from a knee injury. But Donovan didn’t paint a positive picture about where Ball is at either, as he shared that the Bulls guard is still unable to sprint.
“I don’t know if he’s stuck,” Donovan said. “He is doing some shooting, some running, some jumping. He hasn’t done any sprinting yet, that I know.”
Donovan was asked if that’s a setback and he stopped short of calling it that.
“They talked about that, and [sprinting] was kind of a goal, a set point. I do think the one thing that has been a priority right now, so he does not get set back, is he needs to develop more strength in his leg,” Donovan said. “Because of him having that surgery and being off his leg so long, before he’s really able to ramp up, I think they want him to get to a place physically that relates to his quad strength. I don’t want to say it’s a holdup, but that’s where they want to get him to. In terms of what he’s doing, he feels better.”
Ball hasn’t played in a game since January 14, 2022. The veteran point guard missed the second half of that season, and all of the 2022-23 season. Ball has been ruled out for the entirety of this season, as well. That means the next chance for Ball to play will be over two-and-a-half years from his last appearance.
The beginning of the season hasn’t gone as hoped for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making a big trade by swapping Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo on the eve of the season, the Wolves have struggled to find their footing.
Minnesota currently sits at 11-10 and in 10th place in the Western Conference. That’s while riding a current three-game win streak that pushed the Timberwolves over .500 on the season.
Being down in range of the Play-In Tournament has many front office executives expecting Minnesota to be active before the trade deadline. Some think that could involve the Wolves flipping Julius Randle, as he hasn’t been smooth fit in the team’s offense. Randle’s style of holding the ball, and his lack of a reliable three-point shot, has caused Minnesota’s offense to look clunky at times.
Donte DiVincenzo being asked to do more playmaking has also been speculated about as hurting his game. The veteran guard has hard time finding his form with his three-point shot.
