Lakers' Lonzo Ball (knee) getting 'a little more aggressive' in practice
Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton said point guard Lonzo Ball "got a little more aggressive" in Monday's practice session.
According to NBC's Shahan Ahmed, Ball still isn't going through contact work. That tells us that he isn't close to returning quite yet. He's been ruled out for Tuesday and won't be able to return until he gets a full practice in. Josh Hart should continue to start with Jordan Clarkson and Brandon Ingram seeing boosts in usage with the Lakers' star rookie out.
Through 36 starts, Ball is averaging 33.7 FanDuel points with 10.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game in his rookie campaign.
