The Los Angeles Lakers have been without Lonzo Ball for 11 games as he works back from an MCL sprain in his left knee, and the team has ruled him out when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder Thursday night. The Lakers are enjoying one of their best stretches of the season, winning 11 of their last 15 games and seven straight at STAPLES Center.
Ball spoke with media during practice Wednesday, giving a fairly detailed update on the injury, where he’s at from a process standpoint, and how he’s dealing with being forced to the sidelines.
