Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball sprained his right wrist in the first quarter of Monday night's win at Memphis and will be reevaluated in 10 days, the team announced Tuesday.
Ball played despite the injury to score six points and six assists while recording a season high in 18 minutes in Chicago's 126–123 win.
The 27-year-old Ball has appeared in three games this season, his first NBA action since January 2022 after multiple surgeries on his left knee.
The Bulls don't believe the wrist injury will be long-term, but want to see how Ball responds next week.
Part of the team's scheduled maintenance for Ball this season includes not playing him in back-to-backs.
Ball said the knee feels good as he returns to action for the first time in more than two and a half years. He said last week that he is able to get on the court without thinking about his knee.
Ball averaged 4.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 15.7 minutes through his first three games this season.
