The Los Angeles Lakers are set for another early tip-off, taking on the Memphis Grizzlies during the NBA’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day marathon of games. What once looked like a very winnable game while the Lakers ride their longest winning streak of the season is now up in the air.
Lonzo Ball is officially listed as questionable after feeling soreness in his left knee and undergoing a “precautionary” MRI on Sunday. The Lakers have since finalized signing Gary Payton II to a two-way contract, adding a fresh option to possibly address their lack of point guard depth beyond Ball.
