Lonzo Ball has a torn meniscus in his left knee but the Los Angeles Lakers point guard is expected to be ready for the start of the season, sources said.
Sources consider Ball's injury to be minor. Yahoo Sports first reported the meniscus tear.
ESPN reported on June 11 that Ball had a platelet-rich plasma shot earlier this offseason to treat and strengthen his left knee. Ball has tried different recovery options like the PRP shot and staying off the knee for about a month after the season to let it heal after he sat out the final eight games of the regular season with what was termed a left knee contusion.
