Lonzo played five seasons in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans (and Bulls).

In his final season (2021–22), he averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 42.3% from the field and 42.3% in 35 games % shot from three-point range.

When Ball was healthy, he was one of the most exciting point guards in the league.

The Bulls are 2-2 in their first four preseason games after beating the Timberwolves by a score of 125-123.

They will play their first game of the regular season on October 23rd at the New Orleans Pelicans.

Last season, the Bulls missed the NBA playoffs for the second straight year (losing to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament).
