Via Drew Stevens of #TheBIGS: "Bulls list Lonzo Ball as “available” for their tilt with the Grizzlies Monday.

It’ll be the first instance this season where Ball — who is currently restricted to 14-16 minutes a game and won’t play in back-to-back sets for now — has played on just a day’s rest."

After missing over two years, it makes sense why the Bulls will be cautious with how much they play the former UCLA star.

That said, he is still an excellent option to have off the bench (even in limited minutes).
