Lonzo Ball Out Up To Three Weeks With Minor MCL Sprain 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jan 27, 2018 11:59 pm

Lonzo Ball will out up to three weeks with a minor MCL sprain.


Ball was hurt in a game on Jan. 13th and has missed six straight games.


Luke Walton said Ball will have to go through a full practice before returning to play.


"He's feeling better every day," Walton said. "I wouldn't be surprised if within a couple of days, a week, whatever it is, they say he's ready to start practicing again.


"But we are still training and approaching it as if it's long term. We are not making any plans as if he's coming back tomorrow."

Do they really miss him if they're 5-2 since he got hurt?

take your time, lonzo. LAL is inflating JC's value while youre gone. JC getting a real-time audition for the other teams.

PS - work on your J while youre gone.
PSS - since we know all the players/player reps surf this msg board. DEAR DADDYBALL, teach your son the basic fundamentals of a J. If you teach him how to be at least a threat-to-score on O, we'll pay more attn to you and your brand.

Of course we do. He's a major part of our team moving forward...it's always good to have him there. These are the "growth" days of this team...it behooves everyone to have him out there learning. That said...this is not a playoff year for us...so give that MCL plenty of time to fully heal. They should get the doctors clearance.....and sit him 10 extra days just because. Take no risks

Thanks for the honesty.
