Los Angeles Lakers star Lonzo Ball left Saturday night's game against the Houston Rockets with a sprained left ankle.
Ball suffered the ankle injury after colliding with Rockets forward James Ennis III with 8:39 remaining in the third quarter. The point guard fell to the floor in pain and immediately grabbed his ankle. Ball was eventually carried off of the court to the locker room.
Uh oh. Lonzo Ball has to be carried off the floor after hurting his left ankle
