Lonzo Ball cleared for preseason debut vs. Warriors

The Los Angeles Lakers will finally get the guy who should be their starting point guard back. Lonzo Ball has been cleared to play in the game on Wednesday night against the the Golden State Warriors, though we don’t know to what extent he’ll participate.

Lonzo just said he's playing tomorrow.

How many minutes?

"They haven't told me yet," but he did say it would be less than 20.— Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) October 9, 2018

As the Lakers have long maintained, Ball will be on some type of minutes restriction, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Walton opts to start him so as to get him as many minutes alongside LeBron James as possible.
