Ball had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in January but experiences pain anytime he tries to push his knee in recovery. He averaged 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals in 35 regular-season games. Although Ball will have the entire offseason to continue his recovery, this will be a story to watch before training camp and preseason play begins.

In late April, Chicago head coach Billy Donovan said he was worried about Ball’s injury and added, “There’s no answer to why he’s feeling discomfort in his knee.”

The Bulls finished sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 46-36 record. Chicago was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Boston Celtics are favored to win the Eastern Conference Finals at -175 against the Miami Heat.
