They were counting on Alex Caruso to return from a wrist fracture courtesy of a Grayson Allen flagrant-2, they were hoping the serious wrist surgery for Patrick Williams would allow him to make it back before the end of the regular season, and the feeling was Lonzo Ball’s left knee injury/surgery would have him back by the end of March.
All things considering, two out of three isn’t that bad.
Caruso has been back for more than a week and Williams made his return on Monday against Toronto. The Ball saga, however, not only took a serious pause, but now the point guard is running out of time on the calendar.
