Lakers' Lonzo Ball set for MRI after suffering left knee contusion
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball is set for an MRI on his knee after leaving the court in the second half of the game against the Mavericks.
Per ESPN, Lakers head coach Luke Walton said his rookie point guard is undergoing the MRI to be safe. Ball was kneed in the back of his leg on a back screen and exited the game with 4:51 remaining in the third quarter. Ball applied some heat to his leg hoping to return but was ruled out of the game.
"I'm not [concerned]," said Ball, who finished with 8 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in 24 minutes during a 103-93 win over Dallas. "Think it is just a bruise to the back of my leg. Should be OK. I have [experienced this before], it is like a dead leg but not in the spot that I have it right now."
