With Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers winning three out of their last four games, they face another back-to-back situation this weekend against the Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks.
As the Lakers and Kings are two of the fastest-paced teams in the league through 11 games, all eyes were expected to be on the matchup between Lonzo Ball and De’Aaron Fox. Much like it has since their rookie seasons.
Unfortunately, Ball suffered a mild ankle sprain in Friday’s practice and was listed as questionable against the Kings.
However, after successfully participating in Saturday’s shootaround, head coach Luke Walton said Ball, who wants to play, will be a game-time decision, according to Mike Trudell of Lakers:
Luke Walton said Lonzo Ball went through shootaround, and that “he wants to play” tonight against the Kings.
