Lonzo Ball is “nowhere close” to returning, per Bulls coach Billy Donovan.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s made some progress, but I\u2019d be the first one to tell you he\u2019s nowhere near playing,\u201d Donovan said. \u201cHe\u2019s just not. Because he\u2019s not running on a consistent basis. When he can get to that place where he can do that consistently and be able to come back the next day and do it again, do it again and do it again \u2014 I think you\u2019ll feel a little bit more optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today’s bleak Lonzo Ball update: Billy Donovan said before tonight’s game that Lonzo is still “nowhere close” to returning.<\/p>\n

Still no formal conversation about a cut-off date, but Billy said the Bulls will have one after the All-Star break if nothing improves by then.<\/p>\n
