DENVER -- Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball sprained his left ankle in a 117-85 loss to the Denver Nuggets but said he will be ready to play against Indiana on Thursday.
X-rays on Ball's ankle were negative, and he is considered day-to-day.
Ball injured the ankle late in the second quarter and started the second half, before being removed with 9:36 left in the third quarter. Coach Luke Walton held him out for the remainder of the game.
"I mean, I wanted to play," Ball said.
