What happened to Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball?

In February, the team disclosed that following consultations with both team and external medical experts, along with Klutch Sports Group, LaVine's agency, that he would undergo surgery. The two-time All-Star is anticipated to be sidelined for four to six months.

This decision effectively eliminated the possibility of trading him before the Thursday deadline, raising further questions about the franchise's long-term direction.

LaVine, set to turn 29 in March, was sidelined for 17 games from Nov. 30 to Jan. 3 due to inflammation in his right foot. Despite a sluggish start to the season, the Bulls are 10-7 in his absence.

Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball, dealing with a knee issue, isn't feeling pain in his day-to-day activities, which involves extensive mobility exercises. However, he has yet to start sprinting again, per Ryan Taylor of NBC Sports Chicago.

Ball has been out of play since Jan. 2021 but he remains optimistic, setting his sights on a comeback in the 2024-25 season.
