Ball will be questionable for tomorrow’s game at Memphis.
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball is playing his best basketball as a pro right now, so the last thing the team wants to hear is that he's injured again.
In early January Ball returned from a six-game absence due to an injured shoulder, and now the Lakers have announced that Ball will undergo an MRI after feeling some soreness in his left knee. Lakers reporter Mike Trudell said that the MRI is for "precautionary reasons."
