Billy Donovan said after today’s game that Lonzo Ball has been elevated to a 20-minute playing time restriction.
He remained under that today. And a really promising step as he gets closer and closer to a normal rotation. – 3:54 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Looks like they’ll be taking Lonzo over his minutes restriction to close for the final two minutes – 3:12 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Lonzo Ball at his 18-minute limit and out – 3:05 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Unless they are willing to go over his hard cap (which apparently drew some ire from the medical staff in the past), the Bulls only have 1:40 left from Lonzo Ball tonight.
Not sure how they get back into this one without his defense. – 3:00 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Lonzo Ball’s D is elite this quarter – 2:57 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Lonzo Ball is being deployed for double team traps on Embiid. Sort of funny to watch him jumping up to try to tap the ball away, but it’s clearly bothering Embiid. 76ers go scoreless on three straight possessions. – 2:56 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Vooch, Coby White and Lonzo Ball are good to go today.
Billy Donovan did not know if Matas Buzelis would be back in the mask today. – 11:25 AM

To preview the first matchup of 2024-25 between the Sixers and Chicago Bulls, I chatted with my friend @SBN_Ricky about the Josh Giddey experience, Lonzo Ball’s heartwarming return and one Bulls player who Sixers fans should keep an eye on this afternoon:

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Bulls list Lonzo Ball, Coby White and Nikola Vucevic (low back tightness) probable for matinee vs. 76ers. – 4:33 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Billy Donovan pulled Lonzo Ball less than a minute after putting him in at the 4:39 mark.
Bulls trail by 11 points. – 10:03 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Two vintage Lonzo Ball passes on back-to-back possessions. He looks as comfortable as it gets out there. – 8:30 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Matas Buzelis debuts his new face mask, entering the game with Lonzo Ball. Big cheer from the crowd for that combination. – 8:16 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Coby White, Lonzo Ball and Matas Buzelis are all good to go tonight.
Matas did not break his nose but might need to play in a mask, per Billy Donovan. – 6:17 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Coby White, Matas Buzelis and Lonzo Ball are in vs. Pacers, per Donovan – 6:16 PM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Did Big Baller Brand shoes (which he wore his rookie season) contribute to Lonzo Ball’s knee issues? He says it’s a ‘possibility’

Joined @malika_andrews on NBA Today to discuss Lonzo Ball’s unprecedented 1009-day return from knee injuries youtube.com/watch?v=ELzyaM… – 1:23 AM
