Lonzo Ball is set to undergo surgery to his left knee on Tuesday

No further details were provided in a news release Friday afternoon. The team said an update would be given after the surgery.

In May, Ball underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left knee to help heal it. A PRP injection can help treat ligament, tendon and cartilage problems. The meniscus is made up of cartilage in the knee and can sometimes be connected to an MCL injury.
