When the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks in overtime more than one week ago, no one had any clue that rookie Lonzo Ball was injured in any way. Now, no one is sure when he’s going to return to the court.
Ball suffered a sprained knee late in the game and hasn’t played since, missing the Lakers’ last four contests. He won’t play in Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics and it is still unclear whether or not he will travel with the team for their upcoming five-game road trip that kicks off Friday.
