NBA, Lonzo Ball extends two more years with the Chicago Bulls
In recent days, Lonzo Ball's name had come up frequently in trade discussions. After two and a half years of injuries, his return to the court seemed to be restoring his trade value, and with the Bulls trading Zach LaVine, it appeared they were heading toward a rebuild. However, instead of being moved, Ball has agreed to a contract extension with Chicago worth $20 million, with a team option for the second year. Here are his numbers as he gradually works his way back: 7.2 points, 3.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game in 22 minutes over 30 games, while shooting 34% from three.
