Ball Suffers Wrist Sprain; Out Indefinitely

Chicago Bulls' Lonzo Ball Exits Game With Wrist Injury

Ball Expected to Miss Significant Time

Lonzo Ball, point guard for the Chicago Bulls, suffered a sprained right wrist during the Bulls' 116-108 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Ball exited the game in the second quarter after landing awkwardly on his wrist while attempting to steal a pass. An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the sprain, and Ball will be re-evaluated in 10 days. The Bulls announced that Ball will miss an indefinite amount of time while he recovers from the injury. Ball's injury is a significant blow to the Bulls, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Ball is averaging 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game this season. He is also one of the Bulls' best perimeter defenders. With Ball out of the lineup, the Bulls will likely turn to Ayo Dosunmu or Alex Caruso to start at point guard. Dosunmu has started 14 games for the Bulls this season, while Caruso has started 11. The Bulls are currently 26-33 on the season and are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are 2.5 games behind the eighth-place Washington Wizards for the final play-in spot. Ball's injury could make it difficult for the Bulls to reach the playoffs. The Bulls have a tough schedule remaining, and they will need to find a way to replace Ball's production. The Bulls' next game is on Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. It is unclear if Ball will be able to return for that game.
