Lonzo Ball exited the Los Angeles Lakers game on Tuesday at Denver against the Nuggets with a sprained left ankle and is questionable to return.
This is the second time this season Ball has tweaked his left ankle. Ball came down on a player’s foot in practice leading up to a game against the Sacramento Kings on November 10. Then, he was considered a game-time decision before eventually playing 20 minutes in the win.
Tuesday, Ball was involved in a second-quarter collision after falling over a Nugget player at midcourt that led to his injury.
After missing time with various injuries last season and having knee surgery during the summer that kept him out of much of the preseason, Ball has played in every game this season for the Lakers.
With Rajon Rondo injured with a broken hand and Josh Hart also dealing with a sprained ankle of his own, the Lakers are quickly becoming short-handed with guards.
