In January 2022, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball faced a series of debilitating knee injuries that sidelined him for over two years. His journey to recovery included multiple surgeries, including a cartilage and meniscus transplant in March 2023, and a bone allograft procedure.
Amazingly, after more than 1,000 days away from the court, Lonzo Ball made his highly anticipated return to the NBA, demonstrating his unwavering determination and resilience.
In this episode, Dr. Grant Garcia and Will Sanchez explore the complexities of Ball’s injuries, the advanced surgical techniques used, and the extensive rehabilitation process he underwent. We discuss the medical hurdles Ball overcame, the innovative treatments that facilitated his recovery, and the mental and physical fortitude required to return to professional basketball.
Join us as we celebrate Lonzo Ball’s inspiring comeback. An episode that listeners have requested is finally here to kick off the NBA 2024 season. Tune in to Sports Doc Talk on your favorite podcast platform, and visit sportsdoctalk.com for episodes, transcripts, and additional resources.
