Shams Charania from The Athletic reports the NBA granted the Bulls a $10.2 million exception because Lonzo Ball is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 season.

Disabled Player Exception can be used to acquire just one player via a signing, trade, or waiver claim. It can also only be used to add a player on a remainder-of-season contract.

Ball joined the Bulls via a sign-and-trade ahead of the 2021-22 season but hasn't played since January 2022.

Now that Ball is also expected to miss the entire 2023-24 campaign, Ball will have just 35 games with the Bulls in three seasons.
