Lonzo Ball is expected to play in his first game since January 2022 on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Ball has undergone multiple surgeries since suffering a torn meniscus. Ball underwent a rare double cartilage transplant surgery. Ball underwent the cartilage transplant surgery in May 2023.

The Bulls had a 27-13 record up until the last date Ball played a game, the best record in the Eastern Conference at the time.

Ja Morant will remain out for the Memphis Grizzlies game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. The Grizzlies are listing Morant out for return to competition reconditioning.

Morant has completed his eight-game suspension. However, Memphis has not committed to when their star guard will return to play. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said that Morant will need time to get back up to speed before playing again.

Memphis went 5-3 while Morant was away from the team. That includes wins in five of their last six games.
