I see balloons and people standing around. Is he at a birthday party or something?

You ever read those stories about how Jennifer Lopez has all her rooms and cars prepped a specific way before she arrives, including color tone and spraying specific scents?

Lonzo does that with balloons. He has his team decorate in advance. He just likes to be happy.

Well that’s not good….good thing we got Dragic for depth

[PistolP]

Not surprising but still a total bummer. We just aren’t very good without Lonzo, unless Ayo and PWill take big leaps.

There goes the postseason

This stings more after everything we went thru with Rose

[StunnerKO]

This not even new news like wth and it’s going against what KC reported a few days ago about the bulls feeling more optimistic . Nobody expected him back to start the year it was always Mid Dec or Jan . Bone bruises are no joke they heal when they want to. Nunn missed a whole season because of it

[BeatDaCavs420]

God im getting flashbacks of when we had to deal with all the Rose injury news with the ups and downs of it all....Mostly down though

[keloms]

LOL. Welcome back to the treadmill. Play-in tournament, if they're lucky.

[Bulliever2020]

Hell no. And I would place a very large wager on that. The real over/under should be do we see him on the court before 2023.

I hate being right about this. We're so effed.

[Wingy]

Bummer. Not unexpected.

If we ever get the chance, I would pump and dump this guy so fast your head would spin.

[biggestbullsfan]

On the plus side, this will force Pat to be more dominant. We will need him to score and create. I hope he takes that step.

[Jo Jo English]

Not really all that surprising given the buzz around his rehab over the past couple of months, but certainly puts a dark cloud over the start of the 2022-23 Chicago Bulls campaign. Hopefully a still-developing Dosunmu, a fully healthy Caruso, and a motivated Dragic can shoulder the load until he returns.

Really sucks though.

[CROBulls]

Guy is out since January. That was 9 months ago. If he had ACL tear he would already be ready for training camp.

[Bullflip]

Lonzo was probably a risk we shouldn’t have taken. He hasn’t played more than 60 games in a season at any point in his career

Sheesh, I **** knew it.

It's insane to me that an injury that was initially expected to be a, what was it, 4-6 week recovery window? WIll now likely take close to a full calendar year if not longer for a recovery.

This franchise is snake bit. It's crazy to think he would have been better off tearing his ACL. With the East a lot tougher and now this news, yikes. Even making the play-in tourney might be an accomplishment.

Our already small window just got smaller.

sigh

[DASMACKDOWN]

I was mentally prepared for this. I said to yall that Kendrick Nunn was the yardstick. He has been out since last year preseason and STILL not back.

We might be lucky to have Lonzo back before Christmas at this rate.

Was pretty obvious with the Dragic signing. Ayo isn't going to let go of the starting PG spot. I've moved on from PG Lonzo. My expectations from him now are a low minute versatile 1/2/3/4 wing off the bench
