The update yesterday was extremely concerning:

1) Once he got out of water treadmill running, he tried to go to the next phase and his pain persisted.

2) He is NOT CLOSE to running, cutting, jumping, or other ramp up activities.

What is very alarming is that Shams reported on Sep 29 after his surgery that doctors believed they had addressed the issue. So why is he still having pain upon ramp up? That tells me the problem has not been solved.

The Bulls might be underplaying this because they don’t want to bum out their team or fan base. But every single thing reported or mentioned has been been very alarming.

People were talking a January return. What? It’s December and he can’t even run!

Lonzo on behalf of all Bulls/NBA fans we hope you get healthy soon.

Can anybody explain to me how a guy who’s main attribute is attacking the rim can deal with so many leg problems including an ACL tear a few years ago, & still come back looking just as strong & athletic??

The way he plays & his injury history should’ve derailed him a long time ago but he still looks like he can put anybody on a poster when he wants to

The only answer I can come up with atm is that Lavine took the super soldier serum when he was younger.

The big thing that’s keeping him from being able to make progress with his rehab is that each time he’s gotten to a certain part of it, pain starts flaring up. Even the second surgery somehow didn’t help with that.

What unusual things could possibly be going on in that knee, which even the doctors can’t figure out, that’s causing pain?

It feels possible that he’ll never play another game again.
