Lakers' Lonzo Ball underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left knee

Lonzo Ball had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left knee in early May and was able to get back on the court for basketball activities last week. Ball did not have any new setbacks, according to a source not authorized to speak publicly, but the procedure was to help the knee fully recover from the injuries he suffered during the season.

Ball missed about six weeks because of a sprained left medial collateral ligament and later with a left knee bruise. The Lakers initially termed the injuries as minor, but later it became apparent Ball’s injuries were more serious than they initially thought.
