Ball has appeared in six of the last seven games, with his only absence in that stretch coming during the first half of a back-to-back set. Since returning to action at the end of November, Ball has averaged 17.7 minutes per game.

In Friday's home win over the Charlotte Hornets, Ball contributed 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists off the bench. Ball's night was highlighted by a sleek alley-oop pass to Zach LaVine on a fast break, capping off a dominant second quarter by Chicago.
