The Los Angeles Lakers are ready to welcome Lonzo Ball back to the lineup after the No. 2 pick missed 15 games in a row leading into the All-Star break. He also sat out of the Rising Stars Challenge.
The time has come for him to return to the court, lacing up his ZO2 Primes against the Dallas Mavericks Friday night. He went through a full team practice Thursday and is ready to close out his rookie season.
Ball will be on a minutes restriction, according to reports coming out of El Segundo, though there were no specifications on what that will be just yet.
