With the Los Angeles Lakers set to play their third preseason game on Thursday, there’s a remote possibility Lonzo Ball will take the court with his teammates for the first time. Ball was a full participant in another practice session on Wednesday.
“We’ll see how he feels [Thursday] morning at shootaround,” Lakers head coach Luke Walton said. “If he’s feeling great, maybe we’ll play him very limited minutes. That will be decided [Thursday].”
While the Lakers reported Ball being 100 percent at the outset of training camp, he initially was held out of contact and 5-on-5 scrimmages.
