While the Los Angeles Lakers will have Kyle Kuzma (left hand fifth metacarpal joint sprain) available for Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, and perhaps Brandon Ingram (left ankle sprain), Lonzo Ball (left knee sprain) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles tendon strain) are out.
For Ball, it will mark a third consecutive game missed due to his knee injury. He initially felt the discomfort last weekend in an overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks.
It subsided rather quickly, and it wasn’t until Ball woke up the following morning with soreness and swelling that the Lakers sent him for an MRI.
