FILE - Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren (7) shoots against Memphis Grizzlies forward Kenny Lofton Jr. (6) during the second half of an NBA summer league basketball game Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in Salt Lake City. It’s reasonable to think Chet Holmgren will be an NBA All-Star one day. He was a highly recruited high school player whose one year at Gonzaga was stellar enough for Oklahoma City to make him the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft. He's an obvious talent, an enormous talent.(AP Photo/Jeff Swinger, File) FILE - Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren (7) walks around on court during his day off prior to his team playing in an NBA summer league basketball game against the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday, July 7, 2022, in Salt Lake City.

Ball has not abandoned hopes of playing this season, even though he’s still experiencing discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee. Ball has been able to do some on-court work, a major step forward in the process. But it’s now been more than a full year since his last NBA game, and he said Monday, Jan. 16, 2023 that there’s no return date in sight at this point. (AP Photo/Tim Heitman, File)
