Wheel hub, wheel bearings or something else?

Good evening The following problem – it would be nice if you could give me a few inputs: Left drive shaft joint on the wheel side was broken, whole drive shaft was changed –> after the change the wheel would move in the mounted condition, i.e. had about 1 cm of game when shaking (yes, it is all tightened 🙂 ) It is not obvious where exactly the origin is. Now, after the drive shaft has changed, one hears noises when driving suspiciously sound like wheel bearings. Dumbly asked: can a broken wheel bearing cause such a game? Thanks for your help and greetings Karin
