With just 17 games remaining and Lonzo Ball still recovering from a sprained left ankle/bone bruise, the Los Angeles Lakers have not ruled out the possibility that he will be shut down for the rest of the regular season.
Ball again was on the Lakers practice court going through dribbling drills and completing light shooting with assistant coach Miles Simon. He’s due to have his ankle re-evaluated for a second time on Saturday.
“There’s a possibility he does play, but there’s a possibility he does not play, too,” Lakers head coach Luke Walton said. “We won’t even have the conversation (of Ball returning) until we’ve had a week’s worth of practice with him.
