    This is so sad. Still rooting for you Zo! 🙏🏽

    Looks like David Griffin knew something we didn’t know.

  3. LeagueReddit00

    Shit is tragic. Really hope this isn’t true.

  4. He was playing the best basketball of his life in Chicago before the injury, damn shame.

  5. AnselLovesNuts

    Sucks but its Reinsdorf money so fuck him

    Tragic and somewhat crazy given the medical advances of this era.

    Hope something works out for him where plays again.

    Three knee surgeries that’s not surprising. Still sad though. Dude was really starting to play well with the bulls

  8. David_Griffin_

    I’m glad he got a bag before his body broke down

  9. encinodude

    This sucks. Dude was really finally starting to be a great player

  10. Emotional_Win1430

    Fucking tragic, I’m glad he got some money before his body broke down but I think he would trade it all back to be 100% healthy

  11. Cavaniiii

    Very sad. The Bulls looked so good last season when everyone was healthy. He was and hopefully still will he a very good player.

    OOTL a bit, does it say anywhere what were the specific injuries / setbacks during this time ? (I know he’s had 3 surgeries)

  13. WikiHowWikiHow

    what’s the actual issue? knee problems but what exactly

  14. DLoadingKeanu

    Unfortunate but he made generational money so good for him.

    It’s still legitimately surprising to me that more NBA players don’t have career ending injuries like this. Basketball is unbelievably hard on your body, and then just think about playing it nonstop every single day almost from the time you’re 12 or 13.

    His dad straight up ruined his sons career.

    Those shoes were horrendous for his feet. Not to mention all the dumb ass training they’d do at a young age on hard surfaces because his dads ego wouldn’t let actual proper people with a background in training properly develop his kids.

    Even Lamelo is struggling with injuries already.

    I hope that he will be able to one day play a Shaun Livingston type role on a pure contender.

  18. doordaesh

    damn dude I might be mad if my team was leaking this in the hopes that I’d take medical retirement

  19. ThonThaddeo

    What do they think ‘privately’ means?

  20. wk2coachella

    Big Baller Brand turns out to small nuts

  21. HughGRextion

    this sucks man i’ll always look back on 2016-17 with so much nostalgia, i couldn’t wait for Zo to be a laker and the 2017 summer league team was so fun i thought our future was so bright lol

    i hope this turns out to be nothing and zo comes back playing even better than he was when he left.

  22. asparagusbruh

    How private is it if we all know now lol

  23. That vid of him on the treadmill where his bad leg clearly looked so much weaker than the other was terribly sad.

  24. mmmmmsandwiches

    So quietly that it became public knowledge.

  25. This is like the 5th thread this year about this with the exact same comments “man this is so sad” poor lonzo ball, like yea it really is too bad but lol

  26. theflow21

    Not so private if it already leaked. Sucks for Lonzo, he was playing great before this injury

  27. According_Smoke_479

    This is so sad. He was really starting to be good in the nba too. He was always good but he had really come into his own and was playing so well. Such a shame, I really hope he can recover but it doesn’t seem likely unfortunately

  28. Distance_Motor

    It’s not very private now that we know it, is it?
