Lonzo Ball tweaked an ankle by landing on a teammate’s foot during a scrimmage towards the end of Friday afternoon’s practice, and the coaches told him to go to the training room after noticing him limping.
That leaves L.A.’s starting point guard a question mark to play in Saturday night’s game at Sacramento.
“Hopefully it’s nothing serious,” said Luke Walton. “We got him out of the end of practice. He went in and got some treatment, and I haven’t seen him yet since.
Last season, L.A. had only South Bay Lakers two-way player Alex Caruso to turn to when Ball got injured, and while Caruso provided some good minutes, Walton said they’re much deeper in that aspect this season.
