CHICAGO (AP) — Lonzo Ball, who returned to the Chicago Bulls this season after a lengthy absence because of leg injuries, will miss at least 10 days with a sprained right wrist.

Ball was hurt Monday in the first quarter of the Bulls' 126-123 victory in Memphis. He went on to play 18 minutes in the game, finishing with six points and six assists.

The Bulls said Tuesday that the guard would be evaluated again in 10 days and updates would be provided as appropriate.

Ball underwent a cartilage and meniscus transplant in his left knee last year after several procedures failed to fix his injury. He has not played since Jan. 14, 2022, before returning during this preseason.
