The Chicago Bulls want veteran guard Lonzo Ball on the court at the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.

“When we go to camp, we have to educate him slowly,” Artūras Karnišovas, executive vice president of basketball operations, said Monday. “He’s already played five-on-five but we haven’t seen him go through camp yet so there will be a lot to learn… it will take time.”
