Lonzo Ball Progressing, But Without Timetable
Lonzo Ball (knee), who has been out since late January after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, is progressing in his rehab, according to Bulls head coach Bill Donovan. However, Donovan stated that a bone bruise in Ball's knee area has prevented him from recovering sooner. Ball is doing some running and lateral work, but not at full speed and Donovan said that he can't give an estimate on Ball's return without seeing him go at full speed. With Ball out, the Bulls have been going with a starting backcourt of Zach LaVine and Ayo Dosunmu with Coby White and Alex Caruso logging heavy minutes off the bench.

Lonzo Ball Doubtful For Wednesday Night
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Miami. He hasn't played since February 28, and it doesn't appear a return in on the horizon. Fortunately, Josh Giddey (forearm) is expected to return from a two-game absence. Dalen Terry (calf) is also anticipated to suit up, so he should continue to see more work if Ball is officially declared out. With that in mind, Terry hasn't hit the double-digit scoring mark since March 24, making him a risky option for DFS participants.

Lonzo Ball Still Out On Tuesday
Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He was initially listed as doubtful on the injury report. Ball was expected to return from a right wrist sprain last week, but he seems to have suffered a setback. He will be sidelined for his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday. Kevin Huerter (thumb) has delivered productive performances during Ball's absence and is poised for another strong outing against Toronto after the team upgraded his status from questionable to available.

Lonzo Ball Out Again On Monday
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ball will miss his 15th straight game due to a sprained right wrist. With Kevin Huerter (thumb) also out, 22-year-old Dalen Terry could get the nod to start this evening. Terry finished with eight points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes in a 120-119 loss to Dallas on Saturday. He could have added fantasy value with the potential of a heavier workload against the Thunder.

Ball is expected to return to the lineup this week and was initially listed as questionable for Thursday. Unfortunately, he is not ready to return, marking his 13th consecutive game missed. Kevin Huerter, who has made seven straight starts, will continue to have extra fantasy value due to Ball's absence.
