Bad ball joints????

Hey everyone my wife has a 2001 Bravada with 145,000 miles on it. Today when we were out & she hit the brakes there was a loud clunking from the front. I know it's not the bearings because i replaced them last month, ABS light came on when the noise happened & ABS kicked in. brakes look fine & i shook the wheel to check the hubs, nothing wrong, NOW i did notice the left wheel shook alot when jacking up the left side. After having my son jack the car up a few times i notice some play in the upper ball joint, then with the car on the ground we shook the wheels like you would to check the hubs & got the clunking noise & noticed play on both upper ball joints. I guess my question would be if theres play in the ball joints are they bad? Thanks for all the help, love this website.
