Undergoing surgery, out 4-6 weeks Ball (knee) will undergo a procedure on his left meniscus injury this week and is expected to be sidelined for four-to-six weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Impact This is a tough blow for Ball and the Bulls, as his success was helping fuel a huge season for the team. First place in the East at 28-15, Chicago will now need to rely upon Coby White, Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu to hold down point guard minutes over the next month-plus. In the short-term, the Bulls are also down Zach LaVine (knee), who is out for the upcoming road trip. Ultimately, Ball's absence means fantasy managers need to make sure White and Caruso are rostered, as they'll see expanded roles and should have relevance in even 10-team formats.
