Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball done for the preseason?
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball was ruled out of his second straight preseason game with a sprained left ankle
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball may be done for the entire preseason due to an ankle sprain.
Per ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball was ruled out of his second straight preseason game with a sprained left ankle, and his status for the remainder of the preseason is uncertain.
Walton did make it clear, though, that Ball is considered day-to-day, adding that "I assume he will be back" by the season opener against the LA Clippers on Oct. 19.
"I hope not, but yeah, that's a possibility," Walton said when asked if Ball could miss the rest of the preseason. "It is different with every player. He is new to the team, so we've got to see how long these types of injuries take him to come back from. We'd like to have him back, but again, we are not going to rush him back just to try to get him out there."
