NBA: Lakers rookie Ball's MRI clean, questionable for Grizzlies game

Los Angeles, January 15: Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball is questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after an MRI on his knee came back clean on Sunday (January 14).

Ball, who suffered a knee injury on Saturday (January 13), was diagnosed with a minor left knee sprain.

Ball scored nine points with seven assists and seven rebounds in the game before leaving.

A consistent triple-double threat in recent weeks, Ball has recorded two double-doubles in his last four games. Though he is still not shooting well (36 per cent from the field), he is finding other ways to contribute.

Update: Lonzo Ball, who injured his knee in yesterday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, had an MRI today. Results of the MRI revealed a minor left knee sprain.

Ball will be questionable for tomorrow’s game at Memphis.
