Lakers News: Lonzo Ball progressing toward contact drills, team practice

After missing the last 12 games with a left MCL sprain, Lonzo Ball could be just days away from making his return to the floor with the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to the latest report from team reporter Mike Trudell, Ball is in what sounds like the final stretch of his rehabilitation process.

Lonzo Ball has progressed to doing drills at full speed and hasn’t had any set backs. Next step is to do drills with some contact from asst. coach Miles Simon. After that, practice w/rest of team.

Ball told reporters on Wednesday he didn’t expect to miss as much time as he has, which he said is the most time he’s missed in his career.
