Not long after the Los Angeles Lakers announced Brandon Ingram would miss the remainder of the season due to Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) — a blood clot — in his right arm, reports began to surface Lonzo Ball likely faced the same scenario.
The former No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft originally suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain against the Houston Rockets on Jan. 19. As Ball’s expected return timetable was 4-6 weeks, he was making progress by running on an underwater treadmill in hopes of moving onto an Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill.
