EL SEGUNDO -- Lonzo Ball planned to test his knee on Wednesday, but his return from a sprained left MCL remains uncertain.
Ball is hopeful that he will play soon, but his return to action and his status for the Rising Stars game during All-Star weekend remains uncertain. The Los Angeles Lakers planned on having the rookie point guard ramp up the speed of his non-contact activity while also testing his lateral movement more on Wednesday afternoon. Ball said entering that workout that he had been unable to jump or do full sprints.
Ball will miss his 12th straight game when the Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.
