The Chicago Bulls face the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first preseason game on Tuesday evening.

The Bulls could bring Lonzo Ball back onto the field for the game.

Via Will Gottlieb of CHGO Sports on Monday: “There's no way Billy would commit to Lonzo playing in Cleveland tomorrow. I still want to strengthen it further, but I made contact yesterday.”

For Bulls fans, just the thought of potentially putting the ball back on the court is huge.

Matt Roth added more details: “Lonzo Ball is a game-time decision against the Cavs today. He has not played a game since January 14, 2022.”

About Evan Sidery on October 6: “Lonzo Ball continues to respond well to the increasing workload as he prepares for his unprecedented comeback.

Ball is expected to play a key role in the Bulls' second unit.

Ball will be the first professional athlete to successfully return from a knee cartilage transplant.”
