While the Chicago Bulls and Zach LaVine are reportedly engaging in trade talks, including a potential deal with the Denver Nuggets, Lonzo Ball could be on the move. The Bulls could soon be gauging Ball’s trade value for a potential reserve to add to their 2024-25 roster.

Josh Giddey has also been downgraded from questionable to out because of a right ankle sprain. It looks like Giddey won't be the only name being downgraded for the Chicago Bulls tonight. The team also revealed that Lonzo Ball has been unexpectedly downgraded as out due to an illness.

Chicago Bulls star point guard Lonzo Ball is up for trade before the deadline. Despite age on his side, the injury-ridden career has made things tough for the California-born player. Ever since the 2021-22 season, he has played only in a handful of games. However, now reports suggest, he might be traded back to his former team.

One team to watch for Lonzo Ball is the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks got off to a slow start this season but they have settled in and are starting to look better. Milwaukee is now 14-11 and they have been looking like the team that everyone expected them to be.

Lonzo Ball is expected to take the floor for the Chicago Bulls' matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Monday, as he is listed as "probable" on the injury report due to left knee injury management.

Coach Billy Donovan lightly skirted Ball’s playing time restriction — previously set at 20 minutes — to keep Ball on the court in Monday’s win over the Toronto Raptors. Ball delivered, sinking a 3-pointer to give the Bulls a six-point lead with 68 seconds left and assisted on the clinching basket by Nikola Vučević with 14 seconds remaining.
