The good news is at least the injury is not to Ball’s knee, which has been extremely problematic over the last two years.
Ball went 2-for-4 from the field (all were three-point attempts) in the Bulls’ win on Monday. He had six assists as well in his 18 minutes of action.
Ball was averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in three contests this season. The Bulls will have five games over the next 10 days.
